Had my surgery (lollipop lift with implants) exactly 4 wks ago. Had a small scab that wasn't going away where the 2 incisions met. Couldn't tell if scab was getting bigger, it wasn't healing like the rest though. This morning while taking a shower, the giant gooey scab comes off. Not a lot of pain (mildly tender to touch). When I look in the mirror, a stitch is literally poking out of a small hole. My doctor appt isn't for another couple weeks, should I see someone asap? How bad/normal is this?
