Slow healing incision post upper blepharoplasty. Will these small lumps go away over time? (Photo)

August 15, 2015
Asked By:mook61 in Rolla, Missouri

I am 10 wks post upper blepharoplasty. Apparently, I am the exception to quick healing & its been a slow, frustrating process after several resuturing of my left eye incision due to dehiscence. Now there are tiny bumps on inner eye incision. I have tried gentle massage but they do not seem to be going away. Will they eventually flatten out with time? Should I use the antibiotic steroid ointment on them?
