Asked By:ColoradoMaiden in Colorado, CO

Three and a half weeks ago I had a burn scar removed from my face with zplasty. The stitches were removed six later and looked wonderful but now I have bumps along the surgery area with white sutures coming out. It tried to pull the out with a tweezers but seem to be attached or stuck. When will they go away because I am afraid they will leave scars. What should I do?
