Be patient with your Blepharoplasty results

Amiya Prasad, MD answers: Will the puckered spot on Blepharoplasty incision resolve?

I am one week post-op Asian upper blepharoplasty. I know it's too early but one of my incisions has a small puckered spot and next to this is a very small bump. I can feel it more than see it but it's causing a very slight gathering in the crease when I look straight ahead. My other crease is perfectly smooth. Will this resolve with time? Is there anything i can do to improve this during healing?

As you said, you're one week post-op. Whereas I completely understand a patient being nervous about any concept of imperfection after surgery, please remember that we do not heal overnight, nor do we heal evenly.

I do this procedure regularly. The puckering and small bump you refer to is not at all uncommon in the healing process of any upper lid Blepharoplasty. In your case, it may even be a bit more common as an Asian Blepharoplasty (creating a crease in the upper eyelid where there was none before) needs that extra securing in the stitching process to achieve the correct result.

I would be curious to hear about your results now. Whereas I can not speak to your case specifically, usually that puckering that you refer to resolves itself in less than a month. I know it is frustrating that one eye is so much better than the other. That is how our bodies heal themselves however. Rarely is it entirely even.

I am in hopes you are happy with your results!
