10 days post op, should I be worried about suture track marks after upper bleph? (photos)

123ab
It's day 10 after my upper blepharoplasty, and I am wondering if I should be worried about what look like suture track marks where the doctor used outside stitches. I had significant swelling, and the knots were quite tight, so that the nurse had some problems getting the sutures out. The sutures were taken out on day 8.
