I am 9 wks post op after upper and lower eyelift and my incision lines have gotten strange bubbles on them that look bumpy like cauliflower stalks.

I have had injections to no avail and use scarfade, but no relief. How can this be helped?

Bumps after upper eyelid surgery

It is normal to be lumpy and bumpy the first six to twelve weeks after upper eyelid blepharoplasty. The lumpiness and bumpiness tends to go away by twelve weeks. Occasionally small whiteheads are present along the incision line, which can be expressed with a small needle and aspirated. Occasionally very dilute cortisone injections can be placed into this area. There are no fade creams or wrinkle creams that will help the scar.
