What Is Your Advice For A Lower Blepharoplasty Scar (pics)?

I had a lower blepharoplasty performed 8 month ago and there is a visible deep scar under my left eye. In the outer area of my right eye there are small bumps one of which looks like a suture that hasn't dissolved. Also my bags seem uneven. I would appreciate your advice and opinion. My PS suggests to give it some more time. Thank you.

Unfortunately, I cannot see your photos on this post for some reason, so I cannot give you any further advice.
