Hello, I have had Instalift done 9 days ago. I have noticed 2 bumps (on my temple and above the corner of the lip) that had "sharp" and "catchy" feel on touch. The doctor assured they would go away soon. Few days later he tried to remove a piece of thread, but it did not help a lot. It is day 9, and I still have the same sharp feeling, also the under eyes regions appear to be swollen. Do the threads would be "sucked in" on its own? Is it normal to have new swelling under eyes on day 9? Thanks
