Will Dimple/indented Skin from Internal Stitch (Transcutaneous Blepharoplasty) Go Away? (photo)

HJ90210
I had transcutaneous blepharoplasty 6 weeks ago. The surgeon used dissolving internal stitches. On my right eye, I can see 2 dimples caused by the stitches since the day of surgery. This issue does not occur on the left eye. I thought after the thread dissolved, the dimples would go away. Shouldn't the dissolving thread be dissolved by now? Will the dimples flatten out naturally over time? or Will this require some corrective procedure in the future?
