I have thicker skin above blepharoplasty incision line, is this normal?

Asked By:goldengal in Cape Coral, FL

Two weeks ago I had an upper blepharoplasty and the healing is going very well, but I do have one concern. The skin above the incision line is thicker than the skin below it - quite noticeable when I touch it, and also visually. I'm assuming this is because the skin near the eyelid line is naturally thinner. Is this normal? Will this smooth out? It's a noticeable "ridge" right now when I close ny eyelids (though hidden in crease when my eyes are open). Advice would be greatly appreciated!
