Dog ear/standing cone deformity at top of surgical incision on cheek. How do I remove this? (photos)

November 1, 2016
Asked By:Natalie 777 in London, ON

Hello. I am hoping that someone can please help alleviate my concerns. I had scar revision performed on my cheek two weeks ago (from a previous motor vehicle accident) and there is a large lump at the top of the scar. It is my understanding that this is a dog-ear/standing cone deformity. What can be done to remove this? How long do I have to wait before any medical intervention? I am hoping that this can be resolved or removed as soon as possible. Please advise. Thank you for your help.
