Is there anything that can be done to improve the look of my lip lift scar? (Photos)

Helpful657125
I’m 3 weeks post op from a bullhorn lip lift using dissolvable sutures. My scar is raised with visible suture marks around most of my nose. There's a piece of my scar that is especially raised/fibrous where there were sutures insides my nose. Is there anything I can/should do about the scar? Can I expect it to improve with time at all? Also, is it normal that 2 sutures still remain and it’s not entirely closed? I apologize the pics are so blurry, I can’t seem to get good ones with my phone!
