How fragile are dissolving stitches for an under blepharoplasty?

monimoo
Its been about 10 days after the surgery and I have this fear that if I smile too big, cough too hard, or accidentally press too hard under my eyes, the stitches will just pop out and I'll ruin the results. To appease my anxious mind, how long must I be careful of the undereye area after a lower blepharoplasty? And what should I not do?
