Blue sutures on nose still visible 2 weeks post op? (photos)

AdamT
I had a (male) rhinoplasty procedure done about 2 weeks ago and today while cleaning my nose, I noticed a blue thread peeking out the side of my nostril. I figured I could extract it, and tried to, but it was too resistant and didn't want to tear any skin. My question is, are these blue sutures dissolvable, or do they need to be removed? I also noticed I have 2 more suture "remnants" on the outside of my nostril. Should I get this taken care of right away?
