I had upper/lower blepharoplasty 5 weeks ago. I end up with different size eyes. My PS pull the one lower eyelid too much up doesn't look natural. Something was rubbing my eyeball and I saw a suture inside the corner. My PS told me it is a permanent suture. It feels very uncomfortable and a constant pulling up of my eyelid. Can the suture be remove? If it is removed the eyelid will drop a little bit so it can look better or it can be worst? Should I have it remove soon or should I wait? Thanks!
