Raised lumps at the corner of the eyes after blepharoplasty. Seems a bad suture technique. Will these go away? (Photo)

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.
