Incomplete TQFT diagrams and superfluous space

Question

I am using Andrew Stacey's package for drawing cobordisms (see this question), and I have two questions.

Firstly, how can I achieve a drawing such as the one below? To be precise, how would I go about creating a fat cobordism, where some of the incoming and outgoing missing boundary pieces, i.e. not drawn but implied by vertical dots?

enter image description here

Secondly, how do I get rid of the extraspace below the reverse pair of pants? it affects the parantheses

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
\usepackage{tqft}
\begin{document}
\[
S_M\left(\quad
\begin{tikzpicture}[tqft/flow=east]
    \node[draw, tqft, reverse pair of pants, boundary lower style={draw,dashed}] (A) {};
    \node[tqft boundary circle,draw] at (A.outgoing boundary 1) {};
\end{tikzpicture}
\quad\right)=\bullet
\]
\end{document}

For Q2, I would try to add baseline=-0.5ex (or better see use of tikzpicture matrix in align or gather environment) to the picture's options. — Claudio Fiandrino, Sep 24 '14 at 14:10

Close enough...

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{tikz}
    \usetikzlibrary{tqft}
\begin{document}
\[
    p\left\{\vphantom{\vrule height80pt}\right.
    \begin{tikzpicture}[baseline=57pt,ultra thick,red]
        \pic[
            tqft,rotate=90,
            cobordism height=70pt,boundary separation=30pt,
            cobordism edge/.style={draw},
            incoming boundary 2/.style={dotted},
            incoming upper boundary component 2/.style={dotted},
            incoming lower boundary component 2/.style={dotted},
            incoming boundary 3/.style={dotted},
            between outgoing 2 and 3/.style={dotted},
            outgoing upper boundary component 2/.style={dotted},
            outgoing lower boundary component 2/.style={dotted},
            between outgoing 1 and 2/.style={dotted},
            incoming boundary components=5,
            outgoing boundary components=4,offset=.5,
            every upper boundary component/.style={draw},
            every lower boundary component/.style={draw,thin},
            genus=3,
            hole 1/.style={rotate=-90,shift={(0pt,130pt)}},
            hole 2/.style={rotate=-90,shift={(-20pt,100pt)}},
            hole 3/.style={rotate=-90,shift={(-60pt,60pt)}},]{};
    \end{tikzpicture}
    \left.\vphantom{\vrule height60pt}\right\}q
\]
\end{document}
