Stitch marks on the eyelids generally fade over time. Overall, the eyelid heals exceptionally well, but you have to give it time. In general, we like to say that it takes about a full year for an incision or cut to heal. If you had debris in there that wasn't cleaned out fully, that might leave more of a mark. I would recommend that you follow up with your surgeon so you get a good idea of what the time course of healing will be for you.
A photo would certainly be helpful, as would knowing the timing of your surgery.
