Post upper blepharoplasty suture removal on 14th day post-op? (Photo)

Asked By:mook61 in Rolla, Missouri

It has been almost one week post upper blepharoplasty. My concern is doc told me to see him 14 days postop for suture removal. I questioned him but he reassured me thats what he does. I am being diligent at keeping area clean & using antibiotic 3x/day per instructions. I worry scarring will be a concern having sutures in this long & even increasing chance for infection?

Answer: Two weeks for suture removal may be what he does but it is not routine.
