I had upper blepharoplasty in December of 2022. I now have scars along the incision line from the dissolvable stitches. I have visited with the doctor that performed the surgery. He said it is the first time he has ever seem my issue. I am scheduled to get the stitches taken out in 2 months. He already made a small incision to make sure that is what was going on and found a part of a stitch. I'm worried about the scars after the stitches are removed. What would give me the best result?
