What should be applied to columella incision on nose to help it heal faster after rhinoplasty?

Lilly23
Ive been applying antibiotic ointment on my columella scar/incision area for a week since rhinoplasty, but ive been advised to stop using it. The stitch itself has been cut down but there’s still some small fragments of it remaining. What shall I apply to help the stitches dissolve faster? Is vitamin E oil okay?
