4 weeks PO upper and lower bleph. I have a suture granuloma on the inner corner of my upper eyelid. Will it disappear? (photo)

Question

Hi I have both upper and lower blepharoplasty done 4 weeks ago. The wounds are healing however I got Suture granuloma on inner corner of my upper eyelids and still there. I went back to my surgeon and he said it could be due to the reaction from radio frequency pen used to make incisions on my Asian skin. Would suture granuloma eventually disappear?

Ross Farhadieh MD, FRCS, FRACS · Answer

Thank for your question and the photo. Suture granulomas which are body’s reaction to the external material only should occur if there is a foreign body including a suture there. Once that has extruded or been removed the reaction usually subsides. Good luck
