Should my scars look like this four weeks post facelift/necklift surgery? (photos)

Asked By:EstherOnions in Great Britain, GB

Had a lower facelift&necklift 4 weeks ago. Initially, wounds appeared to be healing well, but in last 2 weeks have become increasingly sore; pus seeping from area of the incision in front of 1 ear. At post-op check, nurse said the stitches were dissolvable . However, while some have disappeared, have quite few of what feels like plastic/nylon threads sticking out around bottom of the ears - not convinced these are dissovable. I will be going back to my surgeon but also hoping for advice here.
