Tiny stitch left in after Blepharoplasty

Tiny stitch left in after Blepharoplasty

I had blepharalasty about 18 months ago & am very pleased with results. While my scars were healing I was sure I had a bit of stitch left in near my lower lashes but was told that it was just scarring that had yet to heal .

Eventually I went bach to see my surgeon who confirmed that there is a tiny bit of stitch still there . He tried to remove it but it was stuck in scar tissue & he needed special forceps to get it out. I was left with a sore eye which took several days to heal

I was due to go back but had to cancel & now I wonder if I can just leave it there , it is easily covered with make uo & is not very noticeable at all. Is it safe to leave put or will it cause any problems in the future?

It's better to have it removed... since there is a chance of infection if left in.
