I had a bullhorn lip lift two weeks ago, the sides of my nose seem to have slight separation, when I had my stitches out (have deeper dissolvable ones & some to close) the nurse noticed but did not seem concerned, will this close up/ fill out or will I be left with an indented scar along the sides? Really concerned right now.My PS mentioned any one week post op that he sides of my nose curve in quite a bit which made it difficult to suture, will this area fill out? Need another opinion?
