Stitches burst after tummy tuck. Do I need to be restitched? (photo)

Msmal87
I had a tummy tuck 2 weeks ago and my stitches have come apart. My PS stated that the wound will heal itself from the inside out but looking at it it appears white and red and does not seem normal. Does this wound look like it is healing or do I need to be closed again?
