Bump in the corner of the eye after eyelid surgery

justme2014Feb 7, 2014
hello, I had upper and lower eyelid surgery 7 weeks ago. At this point I can say I look better than before but I have a bump at the corner of the eye where upper and lower incisions sort of meet. I guess from reading in this forum that it could be a stitch. For no reason on earth do I want to go back for revision. Do you think this will go with time and how long? When do you think I will stop being reminded i had surgery by my eyelids feeling a bit tight? Thanks so much for your time
