I had upper eyelid surgery 9 days ago. My stitches were removed on day 5 and although my right eye looks fine my left one has strange bulges around the incision line. It doesn't itch and I'm not in pain. Is this normal during healing or should I be concerned?
Answer: Quite honestly, that all looks very good.

Answer: Wound Healing Following Blepharoplasty It's normal to have areas of irregularities along the incision following blepharoplasty surgery. These areas of irregularity occur for a variety of reasons including suture tracts, normal skin edge eversion, inflammation, crusting, scabbing and normal wound healing.These lumps, bumps and bulges tend to heal nicely with the passage of time. This process can be facilitated by gentle massage, topical ointments and avoidance of sun exposure. When these steps are taken, eyelid incisions heal nicely.If you're concerned about the appearance of your eyelids following blepharoplasty, it's important to consult your surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to make an appropriate recommendation regarding the optimization of wound healing.

Answer: Normal healing The wound can look unusual during the healing stages. You do not need to be concerned about it, because over time it will look much better. Ask your surgeon about your concerns at the next follow up evaluation.

Answer: 'Bulges' Along Incision Line After Upper Eyelid Surgery Normal Hi, after only nine days it is not unusual to see some fullness along an incision line. Depending on the suture technique, sometimes there is localized swelling between the skin edge and the stitch which causes it to bulge up a bit. This is normal in most cases. Fortunately, as time goes on, this in most cases goes away. Sometimes, we may recommend massage but care must be taken not to open up and disrupt the skin incision at this early time. Follow your surgeon's instructions with regards to this.
