The plastic surgeon left mine like this. I have no lip on the corner. It's like folded in. I was admitted in the hospital and the surgeon didn't repair it until the next afternoon. My stitches were put in May 11 and taking out the second week in June. The plastic surgeon said he would revise it and make lip thinner? I dont know I'f I want that. Is it fixable? And is it normal for the lip to peel nonstop 5 months later sometimes greenish?
