Are ridges normal after lower lid blepharoplasty? (Photos)

rands_thompson
Hello, I am about 18 days post-op from lower eyelid blephroplasty. Everything seems to be going ok. Obviously, it is early and I am still experiencing swelling, but I was concerned with the swollen ridges directly under the incision areas of each eye. The puffy are starts at the middle of each lower lid and goes to the outer corners. Is this normal?
