It Has Been 5 Months and I Still Have Sutures That Haven't Dissolved and Feel Like a Cord Cutting Under my Chin from Ear to Ear?

So what are my options? My doctor suggested possible steroid injections at 6 months to hasten the dissolving. What will I look like with injections--will they make me look puffy? I am very uncomfortable and sometimes they tighten at night. I did not know recovery would take so long and be so uncomfortable. My eyes are still tight and pull at the corners.
