Stitches never dissolved from breast lift

Asked By:Ddrr123 in White Plains, NY

I had a breast lift in 2016. In 2022, I still have stitches that never fully dissolved in certain area around my areola. Some are black, and very small. Others are flesh color that have a very foul smell. My scars are very wide, could this be a reason? What would cause my stitches not to dissolve? Was it due to surgical technique and not having them deep enough?
