not being all negative, but those stitches are ok if was anywhere but your face...
they're gona leave a gaping scar...
u can get smaller stitches that leave very small scars and im surprised that they haven't used them.
plastic surgeons use them etc...
i would enquire about it if your worried about the scarring, cos i know i would be.
And your qualifications for this statement are??
Gaping scars are not caused by large stitches; they are caused by imperfect alignment of skin edges, tension pulling wound edges apart, infection and being the sort of person who forms keloid scars.
Chins heal pretty well; I fixed one lady who put her handlebars through her chin, with a wound right through to the teeth. When I saw her again at a CTC function after a few months, I couldn't see the scar unless she stretched the area. I never stitched as neatly as those but it all still came out fine.
The stitches look fine to me and will leave minimal stitch mark scarring if removed soon enough.
The scar itself may spread if the wound reopens but this is unlikely.
