Three weeks post-op and I see white strings hanging from my stitches and one wound seems open on the edge? (Photo)

Asked By:lunaaa123 in Orlando, FL

I recently received breast augmentation in another country just 3 weeks ago. I noticed that my wounds are open on the edges, and wanted to know if they will need to be restitched. There are also white strings coming out of my wounds, along with some stitches remaining I believe. Will I need to go to a surgeon locally to have them removed? It is difficult to contact my surgeon. These photos are both of my breasts, I did just clean them with peroxide. There is no liquids coming out.
