Is this normal for scarring one month post otoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:jta1987 in Nyack, NY

I had bilateral otoplasty done a little over a month ago. The scars along the posterior incision area seem to be pronounced especially because you can see lateral markings where the stitches were. The PS used dissolvable sutures but they took around 3 weeks to fall out. I've asked some people and it's quite noticeable if they are standing a few feet behind me. Will this resolve on its own or what is your advice? Thank you.
