What is the best treatment for suture granulomas after upper bleph? Adverse events vs benefits and healing time post. (photo)

August 5, 2014
Asked By:Cjm1 in Harrisburg, PA

Had upper bleph done ~ 4wks ago w/ internal fast dissolvable sutures (I was not aware internal sutures wld be used) leading to granuloma the entire length of both eyelids. I have been on oral steroids for a week and inflammation/redness much improved but area still raised, prominent ridge and if press feels like sutures still present. What are best treatment options? Have seen local steroid inj, 5-FU, heat/massage and of course time. Benefits/drawbacks from practical experience. F/U my PS soon.
