Should I Be Concerned About A Piece Of Skin Hanging After Wisdom Tooth Removal?

I got all four of my wisdom teeth removed yesterday morning and now from the top left incision there is a small piece of skin that is hanging down, is this normal? or should i be concerned? I'm 19 years old and other than that my recovery has been pretty textbook.

Hello thanx for queiry. Since healing is good.. continue salt water gargle amd medicines such as antibiotics and analgesics for faster healing..skin tag could be excised at the next appointment when you go for suture removal..you can blow air with mouth closed, so that skin tag doesnt hinder you while chewing food..hope it helps take care..
