Three weeks post blepharoplasty not healed. Yellow stuff coming out of lids (Photo)

October 1, 2015
Asked By:colombina in New York, NY

I had upper blepharoplasty two day days ago and had complications due to an allergic reaction to an ointment. The physician had to do additional stitches a week after to part of the lid on both eyes. The stitches came out five days ago but no major improvement, just scabs and the scar appears to be indented, there is yellow stuff coming out all along the initial suture line. is there something (other than waiting ) I need to do now.
