Lump After Transconjunctival Blepharoplasty

I had laser transconjunctival Blepharoplasty 2.5 weeks ago and upper and lower laser skin resurfacing to remove fat pads which caused bags and wrinkles. I am thrilled with the result. However, now that most of the swelling had gone done, I can see and feel a lump on my left lower eyelid, about the size of a rice grain, along the incision. I went back for check-up and the surgeon suggested I wait another 2 weeks to see if there any changes. He also suggested that sometimes, scar tissue may form along the incision, hence the lump. Apparently, to get rid of this there is a simple procedure that involves an injection in that area. Does this lump/scar tissue often happen? Can it be corrected?
