What to expect after cortisone injection into fibrous bumps at end of suture line on day 12?

August 13, 2014
Asked By:Swollenandbruised in Orlando, FL

IUpper blepharoplasty 14days ago. Once suture was removed,noticed bumps on both outerends. Day 12 and the PS said they were normal yet larger than normal. Injected both with cortisone&massaged them. Injected dysport into creases around bumps as they were compressing the bumps. Using moist heat&massaging them 3Xday for a week.Both little softer but still very obvious (left is harder) both are lumpier looking. Wanted to have him check today but he is on vacation now. Hoping someone can advise me.
