Red bump on incision line 2 weeks after double eyelid surgery, should I be concerned? (photos)

Asked By:rubyswtgrl

I had double eyelid surgery done 2 weeks ago and was healing great for the first 2 weeks. However, 2 weeks after the surgery, a red bump developed on the incision line and I'm very concerned? What is it and is it going to go away? A day after the stitches were removed, I found there was one stitch left on my eye where the current bump is. I couldn't go back to the doctor since I'm leaving on a trip and the stitch disappeared after 2 days. Not sure if it has anything to do with the current bump.
