I had a very successful blepharoplasty on my lower lids plus a canthopexy. My eyes still look tilted upwards but seem to relax daily and I'm loving results so far. My problem is that on my left side there is a hard lump where the suture is (right from the beginning) that seems to protrude through my skin. right side is fine.
