How long should I have yellow crusts on nostril & scabs inside? (Photo)

Cheerful748751
How long should there be a scab on the internal incision after a closed rhinoplasty? I cant get it on the picture but when I put my finger an bit inside it is right after that bulge, where I drew the blue line. Horizontal and against my septum. I also noticed these yellow spotty crusts on the side of my columella, pretty obvious in the picture. Is that normal? My surgeon never once looked inside my nostrils to see if everything had healed right :(
