Skin tension after Mohs surgery? Straight line closure, no skin graft. (Photo)

melvin141
I had Mohs done 16 days ago, I had bcc in the corner between my eye and bridge of nose the wound ended up about the size of a cigarette butt. The stitches have been removed and the actual scar looks great, there is still a good size bump under it which I understand. The part I am upset with is the tension it has created, there is a "pull" on my skin in both directions...up and down from the closed area. They assure me this will go away, Please tell me it will.
