Were stitches removed too late?

April 5, 2016
Asked By:E_949 in Irvine, CA

I had upper blepharoplasty on a Thursday and my follow up appointment to get the sutures removed was the following Thursday. Based on all the doctors' responses, it seems all sutures need to be removed within seven days. Were my sutures removed too late (day 8)?
