How to release the stitch in an internal browpexy? (Photo)

March 1, 2017
Asked By:etr4039 in Woodbridge, VA

I had a blepharoplasty with an internal browpexy done 2 months ago. I don't like the result of the browpexy and my doctor said that he could release the stitch by numbing the area and using a needle to cut the stitch. Is this a safe procedure? Will I feel the loose ends of the suture under my skin?
