7 days post-op upper bleph incision dehiscence shortly after Steri-Strips removal

Sorry to see you go through this ordeal. I don't use absorbable sutures because they can cause some reaction during the healing process. The good news is that the eyelids heal very well in general and in the long run the results would be just fine. It is not necessary to repair the dehiscence because with all the inflammation present it would not make a difference. At this time you just need some TLC and hand holding as well as reassurance that thing will be ok or if not it can be taken care of. Good luck. 

I've seen this several times over the years, and they all heal great. Most will just take a couple weeks to fully heal, and the scar usually looks great and no further treatment is necessary. Occasionally a steroid injection may be needed to help soften a firm scar.

Generally a wound dehiscence has nothing to do with the surgical technique with the exception of perhaps when a laser is used to make the skin incision.  Perhaps surprisingly  these heal beautifully with conservative support.  I actually do not agree with your surgeons plan to suture this together.  Generally there is some type of inflammatory process that is causing the wound separation and it is often best to let this heal by secondary intention (no more sutures) and repair at a later date, the wound if it is not satisfactory.  Please let us know how things go.
