Will crying ruin the area of stitches due to swelling?

liana555
I had upper eyelid surgery and was not very happy with my results. I probably cried almost every weekend for 2 months after my surgery. My eyes were swelling so bad it felt like they will explode and I had a lot of pain in the area of the stitches. Would this harm the way eyes heal? Would this disinformation the position of the stitches? I notice the stitches have stretched and I'm not sure if they can be influenced and heal abnormally.
