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

boulderwood
Started to have my MD husband remove my sutures today (7 days post op)..he stopped when he discovered this bit of dehiscence. I will go back to surgeon tomorrow to have him remove the rest of the stitches. What are the chances of this being confined to the one small area...and what about the other eyelid? I have never had trouble "healing" before..
