Hello, I'm 12 days post bull horn lip lift. I love my lip results, but there are large black hole under both nostrils that are obvious even with make up. Sutures were removed on day 7. I did have a cold and had to blow my nose frequently. There's also small amounts of fluid, slightly pink colored coming from these holes. Should I be concerned? I've been keeping it covered with aquaphor and antibiotic ointment, but nothing seems to help. My PS does not seemed concerned. Please advise. Thank you!
