Asked By:alisondys in Mocksville, NC

Blephroplasty TWO DAYS AGO, 3/4ths of sutures have dissolved!! Scared that my wounds will dehiss... Should I have Dermabond to hold them together as a precaution? My wound is smooth and looks just like there is a line where the skin comes together.. There is no scab.. He said continue my ointment.. I was a afraid it could loosen it? I'm afraid I could accidentally scratch or pull it apart.. Do you think my wound can stay together with nothing holding them at a little over 48 hours? Any recommendations?
