Asked By:100yrs2liv in Asbury Park, NJ

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty 18 days ago. Underneath the upper eyelid scars is a very thick rope. It is not above the skin. It is causing a visual ridge. It is continuing to get thicker despite massaging. In one large area it is easily a quarter of an inch thick. It is somewhat painful when touched. What is the best treatment for this ropiness?
