Pimple Like Bump on Outside Corner of Eye Following a Lower Bleph

When in doubt, ask you surgeon. It most likely is a milia ( small, firm white bump) that is easily treated at your next visit.

More than likely this is a milia, a non painful small white bump people get, even when not having had surgery.  It may resolve on its own after several months or your surgeon may "flick" it out using a sterilized needle.  Either way, it is non threatening and will not leave a scar.  There is an outside chance it could be a remaining suture but unlikely.

Thanks for your question. You should see your doctor ASAP. It's hard to give you a completely accurate answer without seeing you, but milia and pimples are not uncommon with the use of lotions and ointments, which most surgeons have their patients use. It should resolve on its own over time, but if not, it can be unroofed with a needle or laser. Best of luck!DrC

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.

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. 

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.

You are concerned about this issue.  It is very easy to take care of.  Your two month follow up visit is a routine visit.  As you are having a (minor) issue, it is reasonable to call your surgeon and be seen for this.  It is simple to deal with the inclusion cyst.

A bump of the skin around the suture line after blepharoplasty is most likely an epithelial cyst.  These cysts, called milia, can be treated simply in the office.  See your surgeon to have it evaluated.

Hi @ElizabethJk!
Thanks for the question. 
These tiny white dots, almost like mini pimples are most likely "MILIA". Milia is a painless small white bump that anybody can get, even without having undergone surgery.  
Milia usually resolves on its own after several months but usually any qualified surgeon an easily treat it with the "Flick of a Needle"  using a sterilized needle. It's totally painless and scarless.
Goodluck!

Without a picture or physical exam, I would guess that you are experiencing either a milia, blepharitis, meibomian gland dysfunction, or a stitch abscess. Since you state the location is on the suture line, stitch abscess or milia are the most likely conditions. Your surgeon should look at the site and make treatment recommendations based on their exam, however, warm compresses to assist your bodies natural healing process should help. If the site is increasing in size, redness, tenderness, or temperature, an infection may be present that warrants immediate treatment. Never hesitate to contact your surgeon!
