Hole in incision after implants had to be taken out. Is this bad? (photos)

cmendez1699
My implants had to be taken out because of an infection. It has been 17 days since then. I had copper stitches taken out today but there is a hole. Will this close on it's own or do I need medical attn? Does the scar look normal to you? Doctor tells me my body was rejecting the stitches and pushing them out. I am worried that the healing is not going well.
