I had an upper eye lift in my left eye one week ago. Two days later the pain was so bad I contacted my Dr. Turns out a stitch had gone through the lid and was rubbing the eye. The following day in his office, he removed stitches and redid them. It is now day five after second surgery and my eye is all blood red. Is this normal? When does that go away? I read somewhere online that it could be really serious. [I'm using an IPad and can't find a way to send picture]. I'm really scared.
