Is it normal for skin under suture to pucker inside nose after septoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:joanne90 in United Kingdom, GB

I had a septoplasty and diathermy of my inferior turbinates 11 days ago and since one week post op I have noticed that the stitch just inside my nose has puckered up underneath. It is the same colour as the rest of the inside of my nose. It is not oozing or anything that I can tell of and the white dissolvable stitches are sticking out of it. It's not massive but I notice is when looking up my nose. Will this swelling go down? I don't see my surgeon for another 4 weeks.Many thanks in advance.
