I'm 55 years old and 10 days ago I had lower eye blepharoplasty done to remove bags from under the eyes and tighten the muscle and skin. I'm healing nicely and all bruising is almost gone. My question is whether the lump formed at the corner of both eyes as result of the sutures will go away or at least soften. Right now, to the touch the raised skin feels pretty solid and "meaty" and not just like a swelling type situation. Thanks.

Answer: Bumps after Bleph thank you for your pictures. It's possible that this is nothing to do with the surgical technique. I'm concerned that you may be developing an infection or a cyst around the suture material. It's important to see your surgeon and discuss this with them.

Answer: Bumps at the outer corners after surgery often if there is tightening of the muscle during lower lid surgery there are dissolvable sutures under the skin at the outer corners. depending on what kind of sutures used these can last for several days, but should soften over the next few weeks. warm compresses often speed this process, and you can talk to your surgeon about massage to the area. if you have any concerns about infection (if they are getting bigger, more red or more tender) i would speak to your surgeon.
