How Long to Wait After Upper Bleph to Apply Dermatix?

I had an upper bleph (anchor) 3 days ago and had my stitches removed today. How long should I wait to apply deramtix? Will this be beneficial for scar healing? Also, I have bumpiness/puckering along the scar line. Is this normal at this stage?

Dermatix is OK as soon as you are healed.

I assume you mean "dermatix". This comes as "dermatix si" where the 'si' stands for 'silicone'. It is a viscous liquid that is put on a scar after it is healed, usually within 1 week and it is to help produce a less thick scar. It is applied once a day for perhaps 4-6 weeks. Your healing is way too early to say anything about the end result.

Please address this question to your surgeon.  We are not your surgeons.  Our opinions, no matter how well reasoned matter.  It is your surgeon who will have to take care of you if there are any problems.  Call up your surgeon and speak with them or their nurse.
