Does putting warm compresses on eyelids after Asian eyelid surgery mess up the inner dissolvable stitches and crease line?

Asked By:jolie77 in Seattle, WA

I noticed that when I put warm compresses on my eyelids, and on my sinuses above my eyes (due to sinus congestion) it made the dissolvable inner stitches become more raised, prominent and are above the crease line. I don't know if this is a coincidence or not, because I wasn't paying a lot of attention of how my eyelid creases looked right before the warm compresses. Is this caused by the warm compresses? Did it mess up my eyelids, cause permanent damage, and change the shape and crease line?
