Can you give me advice on healing of upper blepharoplasty incision after several times of incision dehiscing? (Photo)

mook61
2 mos post upper blepharoplasty-need advice in healing after several openings of incision despite diligent care-wore eye patch at night to protect from rubbing-is extremely rough & bumpy after suture removal X3. Surgeon reinforced it will be fine but I worry on extreme slow healing & closure of incision. Will it eventually granulate to a smooth incision line? What should I be applying to help healing process. Orders to continue w/ antibiotic/steroid ointment until runs out? Thank you in advance.
