Should blepharoplasty stitches be removed earlier than 13 days to minimize scarring?
RennySJan 24, 2020
I am scheduled for an upper eyelid( blepharoplasty) procedure in two weeks, on Feb 6th. I just received notice of the post op appointment to remove the sutures. This appointment is 13 days after surgery! I am worried now that this will cause scarring. Should I be concerned? Another Dr I saw removed stitches on the 4th day. Need to decide what to do now. Thank you.
