1 mo P/O Eyelid Surgery. Is it normal to have stitch thread popping out from a pinch technique surgery?

asd87
I have had the double eyelid done just over a month ago using pinching technique at 3 points on each upper eyelid. About a couple of weeks ago I have noticed a bump about a size of a rice at inner corner of my right eye at one of the pinch point. Today I had another look and it appeared a tiny stitch thread is sticking out from the bump. Is this part of a normal healing process and what can I do to help it heal?
