*Spitting Permanent Suture Problems*

[myhealth]

Hi there,
4 weeks post op (peri-areolar mastopexy). Tiny bits (about 2 mm) of what appears to be the permanent suture (Gor Tex) (purse string) is visible.
Should I leave it as is, or only have the tiny parts removed, and if so , won't it cause the entire suture lose the hold, causing dramatic spreading everywhere? Or should it be removed entirely? I prefer to keep it at least for a year before cutting or removing it.
Thank you

You should contact your surgeon. Do not manage the problem yourself without any input from the person who performed the operation.

Do not remove suture. Contact your surgeon and follow instructions.
