Just wanting to make sure everything looked normal! I had a stitch that was snagging and making my incision bleed so I cut the stitch and all is ok now! Still swollen is this normal at 4 weeks post OP?
Answer: 4 weeks post op From your photo it appears you are healing normally. Swelling is expected at this phase and will persist for several weeks yet. I encourage you to continue to follow the advice of your plastic surgeon and discuss all concerns you have.

Answer: 4 weeks post-op. Does everything look ok? I cut a stitch that was causing bleeding, but all seems ok now. It is normal for stitches to resurface after surgery, and often times they could just be removed bu hand. However, there is a risk of infection in doing this so it is usually advisable to have them removed by your surgeon. Make sure that all incisions and open wounds are clean and dry to prevent infection.
