Suture: It sounds like you are seeing a piece of the suture used to close your incision. If it has been nine weeks since surgery the surgeon will likely want to just trim it off. Have your surgeon evaluate it

Suture material: This is a piece of non dissolving suture material that your C/S surgeon should remove at the next visit.
