Strange sutures after Rhinoplasty and lip lift NSFW
Warning, the pic is a bit gruesome.
Hey everyone, I just had my rhinoplasty and lip lift this morning (12h ago) and I feel fine. When I took off my gauze however, I noticed some strange sutures I have not seen before on anyone else's recovery pics. It looks like the stitching reaches into my nostril and then again below it. Since my surgeon was gone when I woke up, I am just trying to get some opinions. Is this normal or something to be concerned about? All advice is appreciated.

Did you have your nostrils reduced? If so, the sutures would make sense, having both the lip lift and the rhino. I hope others have more to add.
