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

Answer: Sutures removed after blepharoplasty Generally, any sutures that need to be removed are done so in about a week or less after surgery. Please follow your surgeon's post-surgery care instructions to reduce the rate of scarring.

Answer: When to remove sutures from blepharoplasty.
Our office usually removes the sutures around day 7. Each patient and surgeon is different. The suture material, technique, and tension on the individual wound may be very different. He/she was there and will know best when to take them out. Let him/her know your concerns.
