I had upper blepharoplasty surgery on 1st oct 2011, and two weeks ago, i found a lump on the incision on my right eye, when i touch it, i feel a sharp pain and when i gently rub my finger across the lump, it seems like there is something sharp and hard poking out of the skin, and the thing poking out seems to be black in colour as seen from the photo. I asked my plastic surgeon whether it is leftover stitch, but he said he uses dissolvable stitch so it's fine. Is this normal? What should i do?
