Facelift 8 weeks ago. Left side looks concerning. Very red. It's as if it's stretching the scar. (Photos)

When I saw my Surgeon a week ago he said I was healing well. I didn't notice this at the time. However he said that some of my dissolving stitches were coming to the surface. He removed the ones sticking out. Could this be why? Will I lose the affect of my facelift? So much anxiety I find going through the healing process.
