What could have caused holes after eyelid surgery? 13 month post op (photos)

Asked By:patient10203

I had Asian eyelid surgery and it's been 13 months post op. There are a lot of suture holes on my eyelids - I'm unable to wear makeup because it gets into these holes which defeats the purpose of my eyelid surgery. The doctor said he used dissolvable internal sutures which should take a few months to dissolve and help fixate my crease. For 3-9 months, I asked when these holes will close up. He kept saying they will close but it's been over a year. Why are these holes here?
