22 days post op upper and lower blepharoplasty with canthoplexy, my scars getting worse! Any suggestions? (photo)

Please help. The scars in the corner of my eyes are getting more visible and look horrible. They are also red, and with bumps. I have been massaging them for the last week and putting warm compresses on them as surgeon instructed, but they seem to be getting worse! What can I do about his, and is this bad stitching or will it get better eventually? Thank you so much for your replies.
