Upper blepharoplasty, healing of sutures. Was the suture pulled too tight? (Photo)

Asked By:6tta12a in Minneota, MN

Five days post upper eye blethoplasty. All looks well, with the exception of one small area. The skin is raised, and almost has the appearance of a skin tag. Was the suture pulled too tight? Or not tight enough? This is my first cosmetic surgery ever and I'm a bit concerned. Should I be? Thanks in advance.
