My eyelid suture came open on right eye. It was "glued" and taped and I was given ointment. Is this something that happens a lot? I was told it would heal fine. Sutures were in for 5 days. Left eye is fine. I am 9 days post.

Answer: It may look just awful but it heals just fine.
A lower lid skin pinch can be a great option for the right patient. You would benefit from an in person consultation with a board certified surgeon with expertise in periorbital rejuvenation.
Thanks for the question. You should be able to flying by 1-2 weeks after your surgery. If any unexpected incident happens in your treatment process, this time can be extended or shortened. I wish you all the best.
Only you and your surgeon know what the deformity was prior to surgery and what was the objective of the surgery. I would recommend that you discuss the outcome with your surgeon and what was done during the surgery and attempt to reach a consensus on the result and plan for correction....
