Could my absorbable sutures have broken?

Asked By:touz

I had a facelift 3 weeks ago and I am still swollen and my neck and skin near my ears is very stiff. Today I needed to blow my nose and i heard and felt something that kind of broke inside; it hurt, in all my neck at first and now in my ear. So I guess that some of my sutures broke? Should I do something about it?
