I've got chemosis on my right eye on 3rd day post op. Surgeon doesn't seem concerned and he said it'll resolve. I'm skeptical as I read that chemosis can be stubborn. Does warm compress make it worse? I'm now on day 11 post op, I realized the dissolvable stitches on my eyes are poking out and irritating my skin. I won't be able to see my surgeon as I had my surgery done overseas. What should I do? Anyway to make the stitches drop faster? Also, is there anyway to make the bruises go away faster?

It is quite possible to create parallel crease without medial epicanthoplasty. It all depends on the size of the crease. Your photo shows pretty good size of eye, so 7mm fold will be ok without medial epicanthoplsty.
