It's two months now since a lesion was removed from my left nasal alar. A skin flap rotation was made from my cheek. There is still a pronounced lump, the whole area of the flap is raised and domed. So far I haven't had any follow-up appointment, they keep getting re-scheduled.
People are asking me if this is the way it will always look, or will the swelling reduce over time. I can't answer because this hasn't been explained to me. I was told it will take six months or longer for the scar to fade but nothing was said about the lump. Is it likely that the swelling will reduce further, or is the way I look now permanent?
