Surgery stitches knots pain

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

I had an accident and got sutures on my upper lip via plastic surgery 4 weeks ago, and the doctor said the threads are absorbable. The knots are still in place, and the area where the thread is knotted is painful when I laugh or chew. Is this normal, and should I wait for the knots to fall off, or do they need to be removed?
