Asked By:Jungle23 in Kingston, ON

I've had earlobe reduction surgery. I got my earlobes reduction done last week (7 days ago). Today, I went to see my doctor, and I see a small bump on the ears. I asked my doctor why there was a bump and he said something like because not all those stitches have come out yet. He said it should go away with time. Do I have anything to concerned about? pic attached
