Infected stitches after rhinoplasty? (Photo)

Hi. Had Rhinoplasty 30 days ago. Doc had to reconstruct the tip too. Was done at a different country. Didn’t know that I had stiches inside the tip area until a week ago. The doctor said they will fall on their own, didn’t say when!Today I am noticing a yellow discharge on the top of my stiches. Are they getting infected? Should I consider removing them or leave them alone? Are they supposed to hold my tip in place for 6 months or so? Going on vacation in 5 weeks! Swimming in the ocean and pool!
