Should a nose flap after Mohs surgery look fairly normal after 7 weeks? (Photo)

davep3256
I had a basal cell taken from the right tip of my nose and the dermatological surgeon who performed it did a local flap taken from the nose itself. Its been 7 weeks and the end of my nose appears to have a foldover effect where the flat is not really joined with the rest of the nose correctly in my opinion. Should I have a plastic surgeon look at it?
