White Raised Eyelash Line 9 Months After Upper Blepharoplasty

User Avatar

I had an upper bleph 9 months ago for ptosis repair. I am happy with the slight asymetry etc...I look better than I was. I have a thin white raised line along upper lashes that just will not quit being swollen and sore.It looks like it is a collection of white heads actually..all in a fine line along eyelashes. Do you know what it is and what I can do to treat it? I dislike my surgeon and do not wish to visit him again.

On review of your photographs,everything appears to be doing well. I would recommend giving this more time for the scars to mature.
