I have a blue string sticking out from my areola incision. It's been over 1 1/2 months (Photo)

I had 3 surgeries in month, the last one resulted in my implant being revived due to a horrible infection. I will not be returning to my original doctor and will be looking for another because I'm botched now, walking around with one breast...... I've noticed a little blue string in a section of my breast and I left it alone until today, I finally tried pulling it out. I doesn't come out. What is it? Is it dangerous? Should I go to the er?
