Is it normal there are some holes in my lip lift incision after the stitches are removed?

Asked By:amandashields3006 in Rio De Janeiro, BR

I had a lip lift surgery done a week and a half ago. I had some sort of infection at the site of the incision and got on both oral and topic antibiotics for five days. I got my stitches removed and there are two noticeable holes on each side of the columella, not too big, less than a millimeter, left. I was wondering if there is a way to get them to close/disappear?
