Stitches Came off 2 Days After Blepharoplasty surgery Tri Valley Plastic Surgery

I had Blepharoplasty procedure 4 days ago, and my stitches came out on the second day. Is that bad? Everything looks sealed tight, but I wanted to make sure nothing is wrong.

Bleph suture techniques

Thanks for the question. As always these are great questions to ask your surgeon. There is no one who will understand more about the details of the procedure you received than the surgeon who did it. Timing of suture removal can be important in terms of healing and minimizing scar formation. In my San Francisco area practice I use a combination of a "running subcuticular" suture that tends to minimize scarring instead of the more familiar "running stitch". And even with this technique I still usually remove my sutures at day 4. Ask your surgeon - but sounds like you're on your way to a great result. I hope this helps. Steven Williams, MD
