Swelling, Ridges, and Hardness After Blepharoplasty

May 13, 2009
Asked By:leonardst in uk

I had lower Blepharoplasty done 6 weeks ago. One eye was perfect, the other had a ridge of swelling under the stitches and I noticed that a hardish area that is slightly raised was developing. I've been told to massage this area, but it still looks odd. Although I'm still seeing the surgeon, I feel that this will not correct itself. I feel that this should of been dealt with straight away at an earlier stage. Can you please advise me?
