Lumpy and Thick Scars After Blepharoplasty and Mid Facelift

April 30, 2009
Asked By:Deborah L. in NYC

I had a Blepharoplasty and a Mid Face Lift 9 days ago. The upper lids have the dissolving stitches but they are still very lumpy and do not seem to be dissloving. The scars are also thick. What do I do? I saw the doctor yesterday and he said that they would be fine.
