Scar Tissue After Lower Blepharoplasty? (photo)

gero
Now I am 4 weeks post lower blepharoplasty (photo). A day after stiches removed, raised area appeared under one eye, and two prominent bumps at corner of same eye. Other eye had only slightly raised area, no bumps. Surgeon says this is scar tissue; he raised or elevated muscle(s) but did not remove fat tissue (I had lower bleph.12 years ago). After two weeks of using a sticky patch (don't know name) and massaging, no change. Can this scar tissue be removed and how, after a waiting period?
