Redness and Bumps Along Blepharoplasty Scar Line

terrianne
I had Neck Lift and Blepharoplasty, and I've been on 3 different types of antibiotics for 30 days due to a swollen stich in my lower jaw area. It's still red, swollen, and bruised. It's not necessarily painful because I'm numb. My upper and lower lids still have the redness and bumps on the scar line. I massage them several times a day with vitamin E as recommended. Should I be using something different on my eyelids to help smooth out the bumps and redness?
