Posted under Eyelid Surgery q&a

I had upper eyelid surgery 16 days ago and on the 13th day the stitches were removed.

I think that was too long. I read that typically the stitches need to be taken out between 5-7 days post surgery. I also noticed now that on the scar lines, there are some tiny bumps, look like keloid formation. I am depressed now.
