I had lower blepharoplasty two weeks ago, and the dr. removed the stitches 5 days later. I have a line of bumps along the suture line of both eyes. What can I do to make these go away? Can the dr. remove them at this point?

Answer: Bumps post eyelid surgery
Its too early for anything. These small "bumps" should resolve on their own. THere is no need to apply any medications or ointments in my opinion. I would simply apply scar cream and gently massage that area with a q tip. This will allow the scar area to soften with time. If you are too aggressive it may lead to more problems in my opinion. Be patient.

Answer: Healing after eyelid surgery
the bumps are generally a normal reaction to sutures
they usually resolve over several weeks. gentle massage , time, warm and cold compresses may help
occasional steroid such as maxitrol or tobradex can be of benefit
