A Blue Piece of Thread Coming out of Eye Incision
I had a lower Blepharoplasty done a month and a half ago in Florida. I had to go back to NJ where I live I noticed that in one of my eyes a blue piece of thread is coming out of where the incision is and a clear plastic piece of thread is coming out of the other one. Should I pull the blue one and cut the end of the clear one? Please help!.

Lower Lid Blepharoplasty
From what is being described, you have a retained suture (probably prolene). I strongly recommend that you at least contact your Surgeon, or better still take a picture and email it to your Surgeon for further guidance.

Leftover stitches--what to do?
Please please get in touch with your surgeon--the surgeon who did the procedure will know exactly what each stitch was for and where it was placed. Your surgeon can advise you how to handle this situation. If you cannot reach your surgeon, you should see a local plastic surgeon for evaluation and management.
