7 months after double eyelid surgery, Rubbed the corner of my eyes in my sleep, what are the signs of a loose suture?

gargantuan
When i woke up I felt like my eyes looked slightly different from the previous day but not by a significant amount, and I had this weird sensation on the upper eyelid above the tail of my eye. Really worried I might have loosened the suture. What are some signs of a loosened suture? With these sutures are there two extremes ( crease present/gone) or can it be a spectrum eg. the eyelids dont fold up as deeply anymore but crease is still very much there?
