Dissolvable stitches poking out. Is this normal? (Photo)

Thank you for sharing your question and photograph.  It does appear that your surgeon placed the sutures in this manner on purpose.  As a result I would follow their postoperative instructions for now as I would anticipate them to remove the stitches at one of your follow up appointments.  Hope this helps.

I am sure your surgeon knows about these stitches and probably plans to remove them on your next visit. Please discuss any concerns you have with your surgeon.
