Dog Ear Revision absorbable stitches?

Hello, I had dog ear revision done on both sides a week ago. They removed the bandage that was covering it today. It is elevated like a seam, not flat? She said they used dissolvable stitches, which she enforced 4times to ensure it doesn't open? The outer stitches should fall off within a week or two. Can the outer stitches be the reason why it looks raised like a seam? Thanks.
