Upper Blepharoplasty 7 Days. Sutures Started to Be Removed. Wound Dehiscence. Will It Be Ok? (photo)

Upper eyelid wound dehiscences do remarkably well.  Generally these are allowed to close on their own because it is presumed that there is a low grade cellulites or minor skin infection associated with their formation.  Because the body is so well vascularized in this area, the body resolves these quickly and they seldom require more treatment.  One concern I do have is that you surgeon did make a relatively high crease incision.  Due to the dehiscence, it is likely you will have more collagen production associated with healing than normal.  This may cause the wound incision to creep up even higher as it heals.  This may not be a long term issue but it is worth watching this as it heals over the next 12 months.

The eyelid incision should heal quite well without any problems long term.  This is not an unusual situation.  You should be careful pulling clothing over your head for the next week or so to prevent this from pulling further apart.

 

On occasion, if necessary, a scar revision can be performed down the road.  Most of the time thee heal well without additional intervention.

can occur but yours is very small and should have no impact on your final result or your scar.  Topical ointments usually lead to complete resolution but you should have seen your doctor by now and hopefully you have his recommendations to follow from this point forward.
