Is my gum healing properly? Why are the stitches coming out before time! (photos)

junior2016
I have just extracted my tooth and a dentist put on the stitches and he told me they will come out in about two weeks time but it's been five days after the extraction but they are already loose and almost coming out as you can see the hanging cotton string in the pics. Furthermore, urges around he gum are loose . So I am wondering if I'm healing properly for the implant to take place in 4 months time? Must I be worried about the sticches coming out before time? Please help ! Thanks
