Asked By:DesertMist in Phoenix, AZ

I am 8 days post-op. I had lower lid blepharoplasty. I was told by the nurse and surgeon that the incision and stitches would be just under my bottom lashes. When I got home and looked in the mirror, I was mortified at incision location. Is this location common? Why would the incision be in this location? Am I going to have scars? The location of my incisions doesn't look anything like I'm seeing on the Internet. Please help. Is this normal?
