Question

Tanya T. Khan, MD · Answer

Hello, it is normal for the wound to be slightly lumpy bumpy within the immediate post operative period (which you are in). I would continue to apply ointment to your wounds and allow for the wounds to flatten with time.

Mitchell Brown, MD · Answer

Initially after you have your sutures removed you will frequently have some bumps over the incision.  As you are quite early in the healing process there will be quite a bit of swelling, some of which is caught directly in this area. You will continue to see gradual improvements and changes over the next several months.   If you are concerned, I would recommend that you follow up with your surgeon so that they can assess you.

Thank you for your question. You are very early in the healing process after upper blepharoplasty and that is to be expected. You will see gradual changes and improvements over the course of the next 4-6 months. Best of luck, Dr. Heffernan
