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

6tta12a
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.
