How fragile are dissolving stitches for an under blepharoplasty?

Congratulations on your lower blepharoplasty! At 10 days, I would say that you are good and that you can breathe a sigh of relief. Every surgeon has a different technique. For skin incision lower blepharoplasty, I close with 6-0 plain fast absorbing plain gut, which loses its strength in about 5-6 days anyway. If you had a transconjunctival blepharoplasty (from the inside) so surgeons do not close that incision w/ sutures at all and leave it to heal on its own. Best always to ease your mind by asking your surgeon directly. 

Dear monimoo, Unless you pull down on the eye you are fine. Just use gentle care while washing your face and applying eye cream. If you have any concerns your surgeon can show you the appropriate pressure to use. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.
