Is 7 Days Too Early to Remove Stitches for Upper Blepharoplasty?

September 10, 2011
Asked By:alburn22

I recently had upper blepharoplasty, the surgeon did a cross stitch that is to be removed in 7 days. Is 7 days too long to remove the stitches? I'm concerned about the cross stitch pattern scaring. How common is that stitch technique? Thanks
