Asked By:jilesrs in Bay Minette, AL

On day 6 after blepharplasty surgery the sutures were removed. That evening I noticed that the incision on my left upper eyelid had come apart about a third of the way in length and 1/8 inch wide. Surgeon said it would heal with no scar. The incision had already started filling in with "serumy" material and made it look more filled in. Should I be concerned about the opened incision not healing without permanent scaring?
