Q. It has been a month and a week since my nasal incision surgery, and I pulled on the nasal sutures.

Hello. I am Kim Hyung-taek, CEO of Kowon Plastic Surgery Clinic.

In this answer note, the sutures were removed after nasal plastic surgery, but it was said that the suture was visible, so it was pulled.

The person asked because they were worried about the unfamiliar sensation felt afterward, and I am here to respond.

Q. It has been a month and a week since my nasal incision surgery, and I pulled on the nasal sutures.

It has been about a month and a week since I had nasal incision surgery.

After the surgery, the nasal sutures were definitely removed, but when I looked in the mirror, I saw something like the end of a suture protruding from the nasal incision area, around the center column of the nose.

I tried to remove the nasal suture by pulling it a little hard with tweezers, but I felt like something like cartilage or bone was being pulled along strongly, so I stopped because I was scared.

Because of pulling on the suture, the suture became longer, but

will this action cause a contracted nose?

Right now, the area is a little swollen, and whenever I move the lower part of my face, such as when speaking or pursing my lips, the area where I pulled the nasal suture stings a bit.

If you look at the question, it has been a month and a week since the nose plastic surgery, and even though the nasal sutures were definitely removed, the end of a suture was visible at the nasal incision area.

To remove that nasal suture, they pulled it a little hard with tweezers and felt as if cartilage or bone inside the nose was being pulled, so they stopped, but after that the nose was swollen and they said they feel slight pain when moving their mouth.

Even if the questioner only pulled the nasal suture slightly, it will not cause any deformity of the nose.

There is no need to worry too much, and it is best to visit the hospital where the surgery was performed to have it removed.

Please visit the hospital where you had the surgery with peace of mind.

We hope you have a good result from the surgery.
