Asked By:xoj in Los Angeles, CA

I got double eyelid surgery and epicanthoplasty (which I think is the term for an incision into the inner corners of your eyes) 2 weeks ago, and I got my stitches taken out a week ago. I'm wearing contacts, and it doesn't hurt anymore. I started washing my face a day after my stitches got taken out. I'm concerned about the scarring at the corner of my eyes, esp how my right eye has a lump of skin.
