Hello,
It is better to rule out the presence of a hematoma(blood collection).in general all swelling will subside. Arnica and bromolin will help with the bruising and medrol dose pack can help with the swelling. It is important to discuss with your doctor the pros and cons of the medrol dose pack before using it.
Hello Jessie If the seroma did not clear and you still have some signs of infection,you might need the implant removed.Discuss this option with your plastic surgeon.

I'm sorry to hear about your complication. Blindness and infection are of the most feared complications of blepharoplasty. The informed consent for surgery include them but They are very rare to occur.
Posted to Eyes After 3 Weeks on 2 Sep 2009
Follow up with your plastic surgeon.In general the eye irritation is not uncommon but you need to see him to exclude other physical irritation causes. Sutures will dissolve very soon.Best of luck!
Massage would be the first and least invasive thing to do. After one year the scar should have soften. A clinical exam will help to get more clues to the reason for your scarring.Best,
