I had double eyelids surgery using dissolvable sutures. Is this an infection? If I have a revision, can bump be removed? (photo)

I did my eyelids a year ago. My doc used dissolvable sutures n there was this small bump on my lid which did not go away. Doc said to wait for it to completely dissolve. It did not, but everything was fine (can't see) until about 2-3 weeks ago the bump started growing bigger. Now it looks like the picture. People who don't know I had surgery thought it's a pimple. It's so obvious! Could it be infection? Why did it only develop after a year? Also, if I choose revise surgery, can bump be removed?
