Hello ma'am and welcome.
Well 3-4 days is too early to say and you will have to be patient and give healing more time. As for the scar, the skin on the face and upper lip is quite thin and easily develops scars.
If you have a problem with having a scar, which is quite likely, please speak to a skin specialist regarding the same.
Hope this helps.
Best wishes.
