Lip lift revision - sutures opened up after day 3 and 4 - now have holes on each side of nose. Post op day 10? (Photos)

Asked By:ffitz017 in East Texas, PA

In my first lip lift the doctor used external sutures-scar healed beautifully at first but I had some tension scarring that occurred later Ironically the second lip lift was also supposed to be a scar excision from first lip lift. The first 3-4 days the incision looked fine then one side opened up and next day the other side in same spot. The center incision healed fine. The dr assistant keeps saying this is normal but it wasn't normal in my first lip lift. Thank you for any help or advice!
