I'd like a second opinion: Lip lift 03/18/21 scarring question, is this normal scarring? (Photos)

GA9608Apr 5, 2021
Bullhorn lip lift with dissolvable sutures. Spoke to the doctor today, who had me send pictures via text, said this is normal healing. I just would like to know what other doctors think. I am getting very nervous, the pictures actually don't show the extent of the scar. Very bad track marks, you can literally see every stitch hole and the line. Suggestions/advice...Please
