Upper Eye Lids - Will Bumps Go Away or is Scar Tissue Forming?

January 5, 2011
Asked By:Orange County CA5853 in Orange County CA

I had a poorly done upper eyelid surgery done 15 days ago. I notice hard bumbs and cysts forming, which I initially thought would subsde. They seem to be here to stay. Am I freaking out unjustly or is the beginning of permanant scar tissue forming. Please see pictures of day 8 (day stitches came out) Day 10, day 15 (today).
