Tore Stitches After Upper Eyelid Surgery

lindablive
I had upper eyelid surgery and tore out a number of stitches 7 days later. My doctor looked at it and said that it would be more traumatic to restitch it so we would leave it as is and it should heal over time. My next appt was scheduled in 7 days. I am into day 4 and a small amount of blood continues to seep from it daily. Does this sound normal?
