I had Neck Lift and Blepharoplasty, and I've been on 3 different types of antibiotics for 30 days due to a swollen stich in my lower jaw area. It's still red, swollen, and bruised. It's not necessarily painful because I'm numb. My upper and lower lids still have the redness and bumps on the scar line. I massage them several times a day with vitamin E as recommended. Should I be using something different on my eyelids to help smooth out the bumps and redness?
Answer: Give it time Vitamin E has never been shown to help with scar formation. There is a six- to eight-week lump and bumpy phase after blepharoplasty regardless of techniques or sutures used. There is nothing else that will help smooth that out, just time. After approximately eight weeks the incision will turn from red and lumpy-bumpy to a fine little inconspicuous line in the eyelid fold.

Answer: Time will heal the contour irregularities You are still healing and the red bumps will lessen with time. A bit of hydrocortisone with aloe (Aloe-Cort) sold over the counter will also help the redness. Do not use past two weeks at a time.

Answer: Massage with Vitamin E best for red bumps along blepharoplasty scar Massage should reduce the red bumps. These happen often when the sutures are left in for longer than 5-6 days.
