I have bumps on the outer eye corners 2 weeks after Eyelid Surgery, is this normal? (photos)

Asked By:kgains in Richmond, VA

I am 2 weeks post upper and lower blepharoplasty. Healing has gone well, but at the outer corner of both eyes there are bumps where I assume the skin was brought together during surgery. My dr, says these will go away after a few months, but I have not seen this addressed anywhere else. Is this normal?
