4 weeks post op, what can I expect from columellar scar? (photos)

Asked By:jodizjz in North Vancouver, BC

I am 4 weeks post external rhinoseptoplasty. Immediately after surgery, I noticed the sutures on one side of the Incision line were not as well-approximated and tight. The incision line was a little edematous a few hours to days following, which caused the tissue to extend pass the sutures. I now have this notched appearance to my scar. What can I expect as a final appearance and Are there any interventions for this type of scar. Thank you
