Can Upper Eye Lift Cause Bumps On Eyelids? When Will It Heal?
I am a healthy, 43-yr-old female, 5 feet 6.5 inches tall, 136 pounds. I had an upper eye lift a week and a half ago, and stitches were removed after one week. On the day of their removal, raised bumps developed at each spot where the thread had entered/exited my skin. Nothing has been on my eyelids other than TobraDex ointment (began using this morning and night the day following surgery, and am still using it.) I came to the end of my antibiotics yesterday, having taken as directed. Since they first appeared, the only change in the bumps is that they aren t as red but they are still the same size. Any idea why these bumps came about, and how should I treat them? Thank you.

Hello,
These bumps are due to inflammatory reaction to sutures. Now the stitches are out, the Inflammatory reaction will settle down fast. The bumps will settle down gradually. You can just continue with Tobradex cream for a week. That will again help in early recovery. It should be good in 3 weeks.
