Is this a normal wound healing after rhinoplasty surgery or the start of a bad scar/keloid scar? (Photo)

Asked By:yoshiko123 in Norway, NO

I had a rhinoplasty surgery 9 days ago, and 2 days ago I went back to remove the cast and stitches. The nurse that removed the stitches had to remove the scabs as well because of the stitches that were caught inside.. I am now really afraid that I am going to have really bad scarring, especially underneath my left nostril.. It looks bad, it has no scab (i think it's only the ointment showing), it's very open. I'm using an ointment made for scarring. My skin heals normally very well.
