I had a lower Bleph 4 weeks ago. Immediatly after the sutures were removed I noticed a little pimple like bump on the outside corner of my eye, near or on the suture line. It has remained unchanged over the last few weeks. What is it? Will it go away? When? If not, what are the solutions. I see my doctor in another month, should I call sooner and report this? Thank you.
Answer: Post Bleph Incision Bump
When in doubt, ask you surgeon. It most likely is a milia ( small, firm white bump) that is easily treated at your next visit.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Milia Hi @ElizabethJk! Thanks for the question. These tiny white dots, almost like mini pimples are most likely "MILIA". Milia is a painless small white bump that anybody can get, even without having undergone surgery. Milia usually resolves on its own after several months but usually any qualified surgeon an easily treat it with the "Flick of a Needle" using a sterilized needle. It's totally painless and scarless. Goodluck! Dr. Chopra

Answer: Eyelid incision bump More than likely this is a milia, a non painful small white bump people get, even when not having had surgery. It may resolve on its own after several months or your surgeon may "flick" it out using a sterilized needle. Either way, it is non threatening and will not leave a scar. There is an outside chance it could be a remaining suture but unlikely.

Answer: Side effects after bleph Thanks for your question. You should see your doctor ASAP. It's hard to give you a completely accurate answer without seeing you, but milia and pimples are not uncommon with the use of lotions and ointments, which most surgeons have their patients use. It should resolve on its own over time, but if not, it can be unroofed with a needle or laser. Best of luck!DrC

Answer: Milia Management It's not unusual for patients to note fine white bumps on the eyelids following blepharoplasty surgery. These lesions are known as milia. These are effectively whiteheads that result from blockage of the eyelid skin pores. These lesions may resolve spontaneously, but in most cases require some type of treatment. This usually involves un-roofing the lesion. This usually results in total resolution of the problem.If you're concerned about milia following your surgical procedure, it's appropriate to consult your surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.
