I had a lower Bleph 4 weeks ago. Immediatly after the sutures were removed I noticed a little pimple like bump on the outside corner of my eye, near or on the suture line. It has remained unchanged over the last few weeks. What is it? Will it go away? When? If not, what are the solutions. I see my doctor in another month, should I call sooner and report this? Thank you.

Answer: Milia Management It's not unusual for patients to note fine white bumps on the eyelids following blepharoplasty surgery. These lesions are known as milia. These are effectively whiteheads that result from blockage of the eyelid skin pores. These lesions may resolve spontaneously, but in most cases require some type of treatment. This usually involves un-roofing the lesion. This usually results in total resolution of the problem.If you're concerned about milia following your surgical procedure, it's appropriate to consult your surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to formulate a treatment plan that addresses your concerns.

Answer: Milia most likely Your condition is quite common and easily treated. Milia are oil bumps which can be removed with a needle. It is not a reflection on how the surgery was performed. Just make a follow up appointment with your surgeon.

Answer: Most likely Milia or Suture Irritation
Most likely a milium or suture irritation. Milia are keratin filled cysts that appear just under the epidermis and are very common around the nose and eyes. This will usually dissapear within 6-8 weeks, if not it may need to be opened slightly as a minor procedure by your doctor.
