Is there any cream or ointment you can put on your stitch lines after an upper blepharoplasty, in the crease?

Asked By:debi d in Burlington, ON

One eye seems to have a bumpy look and feel to it and is much redder than the other eye. I would like to lessen that if possible. I am aware that you have to be careful what you use around the eyes or on the eyelid. I have been using some vitamin E on it being sure not to get it into the eye.
