Noticeable Cut Under Tip After Rhinoplasty?

lynwoodca1
I had my cast taken off yesterday, and the cut under the tip (where the doctor say's he cut in order to insert the cartridge to raise the tip) now looks really noticeable. My doctor says it's due to swelling and scabs, that it will go away within a month, and the cut won't be noticeable. Is that true?
