Split stitches/sutures in mouth from chin implant procedure. Will the area heal by itself or should I get it re-stitched?

matgent
I've had a chin implant fitted just under 2-weeks ago which was inserted through my mouth. A part of the original stitches/suture came undone last week, therefore, I went to the dentist to get it re-stitched (the clinic where the procedure was carried out is in Prague, I'm in London). One of the new stitches has come apart and I don't think now that it can be re-stitched. Will the area heal by itself or should I get it re-stitched?
