Upper Blepharoplasty procedure Scar Healing Problem?

I had an upper blepharoplasty surgery done 15 weeks ago. The scars are still bumpy, and on one lid, there's a prominent red bulge. I've been massaging and using Dermatix (30 days so far), as directed by my doctor, but it doesn't seem to be getting any better. Should I be concerned at this point? I did not have dissolvable sutures.

Bleph Scar Bulge

Thanks for your question Nancy - That bulge may be an absorbable suture that is disolving. You should ask your surgeon if they used any dissolving suture (in addition to discussing your concerns about the healing). At 15 weeks your incision should be faint, thin and not red. I hope this helps.
