Dear tessy d,

If you have an infection along the incision line post blepharoplasty, the sutures should only be removed after you have healed from the infection and the wound has closed.  This should be monitored by your surgeon.  You may also be having a reaction to the sutures themselves, so you if you haven't already, you need to follow with your surgeon quickly to discern whether you are experiencing an infection or reaction. Best of Luck, Dianne M. Schlachter, MD, Oculoplastic Surgeon, Southfield, MI.
