The Stitches in my Nose Aren't Dissolving and It's Been a Month Since my Rhinoplasty

Romanza
I have a few stitches on one side of my nose and they hurt when I'm trying to clean my nose with cutton swabs. The stiches hang loose and absorb the mucus... what should I do? I thought about cutting the ends myself.
