Answer: Bump appearing after 3 to 4 weeks of lower eyelid surgery.
Thank you for posting your pictures. Don't do anything to your lower eyelids! Your eye aperture is aesthetically pleasant. Surgery might make things worse...Your upper eyelid has a very mild droop, which can be corrected with a small ptosis procedure under local/sedation. Hope this was helpful.
If it's been three weeks they might not be dissolvable. Hard to tell without a picture. You should see your doc for an evaluation. Having suture present until spring probably isn't a good idea.

It looks like residual retroseptal fat has remained and a revision to remove additional fat would be beneficial. As far as when to proceed, swelling has to be fully resolved. It varies from patient to patient but eight weeks should be fine on average. Best wishes, Dr. T.
