Lip lift incisions not closing up after two weeks? (photo)

July 3, 2017
Asked By:made in china in Jacksonville, FL

My lip lift incitions don't appear to be closing up. It looks like I have a an open ditch running down the sides of my nostrils. Is this normal? I'm absolutely miserable about it. I've had to return to work and I'm so embarrassed. Is there anything I can do to make it heal and close up? I have an important meeting in a week and Im so embarrassed! In one pic I have aquaphor and on the other it's dry. I've been alternating b/w letting it dry and keeping it moist.
