Is this normal? Will the bump flatten out when I get my stitches out or will I have to have this shaved?

Thank you for your question.  Unfortunately without a photograph it is difficult to make a definite recommendation but in most cases of closing an incision the skin edges are everted or puckered.  This tends to flatten with time as healing progresses.  Hope this helps.

Scars can be improved with lasers, microneedling, fillers. Please see an expert for evaluation if this is scar or keloid.  Best, Dr. Emer.
