Left over suture 4 months post-op Asian blepharoplasty (Photo)

Asked By:Allmyapples in California, CA

Surgery was October 2015, sutures removed 2weeks post-op. Then, after daily massages, 2 sutures in the left fold surfaced as the swelling went down. I had these "removed" a week later. Since then, I still feel a bump on the left eyelid but thought it was scar tissue. 2-16-16 one suture that was supposedly removed surfaced again...and I can pull it with fine tweezers. Its still knotted. They say its normal, permanent to "heal the folds nicely" but come if I want it removed.
