Swelling concerns almost 2months post septoplasty surgery. Is this due to a popped stitch or was I botched? (photos)

Asked By:steffie55 in Washington, IL

3 weeks after surgery, I was told by my plastic surgeon I popped a stitched. We are now almost 2 months post surgery and my nose is still very swollen and sensitive to the touch. I was informed at the 6 month mark, after swelling has subsided, I would need to be adjusted and restitched, as the septum may have moved, it was hard to tell due to swelling. What is your take on my pictures I provided? Is this normal? Is there some other issue you see?
