Had Stitches On Top Lip, Knot In The Area After Stitches Were Removed, Lips Uneven. Obvious?
Hello, I had 4 stitches on my top (left) lip and 3 inside of the lip about 1 1/2 week ago. The stitches on my top lip were removed monday and the inside are dissolvable. However I have notice that my lip seems to be a bit swollen and theres a small knot/hard feeling where my stitches were. My lips are uneven is this normal, what should I do?
