Will the tip of my nose scar from the stitches?

Asked By:m67T in California, CA

I had a rhinoseptoplasty done about 8 days ago and he took most of my stitches out but told me he was going to leave some and that they would fall out by themselves. Well the place he left the stitches is around my left nostril tip and it's not fully healed like the right side. Also my stitch is hanging out and the drive to my surgeon is about a good hour and I don't have time to go back and forth. I just need a second opinion.
