My surgeon is going to remove my upper eyelid sutures 9 days after blepharoplasty. Is this too long to wait?

The appointment was set before surgery, according to when the doctor is in the office. I am 64, and my skin in general is thin. I saw the doctor 2 days postop and was told I am healing extremely well.
