Eyelid surgery

I am 47 years old and had my upper and lower lids done 3 months ago and am very happy w/the results. The only side effect I've had is having a pimple like bump develop on the incision line. This has happened a few times now. The first 2 times they went away by themselves but this third one has been around for a couple weeks now and, although easy to cover w/make up, it doesn't look like it's going away any time soon. It is not red or inflamed, it's just a raised bump. What can I do to treat it?

I would follow with your surgeon. It may be due to a suture. The body can react to the disolvable suture and cause a bump or pimple similar to what you are describing. It may need to be removed. You would want your doctor to do this to prevent unnecessary scaring
