Post Unilateral Blepharoplasty/ Bump/ Uneven upprlid

[LadyGenesis525]

Hi. After Bell's Palsy and my eye's appearence not returning to normal (apparently the nerve communication to my eye muscle was permently damaged) I had a unilateral blepharoplasty done. I must say, it is healing very well, the cuts are hardly visible. But there is a bump on the bottom eyelid. Could this be an inner stitch that's a little irritated and should I be concerned? The bruising is still obvious. The op was done two weeks ago today. And it does look a little uneven, the top lid, as if the eye I had my op on has more of a upper lid than the one not operated on. I wonder if in time it will relax to look more in balance with the other? I must say that I had no complications such as blurry vision or red shot eye's etc. Just a lot of brusing. But I am wondering about the bump which is not on the cut line, just under it, and feels noduley (if there is such a word). Just need someone to tell me that it's going to be okay. Thanks

I've noticed you have a tendency to state the obvious. Yes, I have an appointment to see him in 3 weeks time. I was hoping for some encouragment. But thanks anyway...

You should call your surgeon.
