I had an arm lift a month ago. Plastic surgeon said my body was pushing the dissolvable stitches out. Is this normal? (Photo)

2 wks ago I had areas to open up and drain. Plastic surgeon dug into each opening with tweezers and started yanking them out leaving the openings much bigger. Mind you..he has done this 4 times already in 2 wks. He used silver nitrate in the open areas & said to cover with gauze at all times. Is this normal??
