I am 3 1/2 weeks post op upper and lower blepharoplasty. I still have swelling under eyes (looks like bags)and minor upper eyelid swelling. My left eye is slightly smaller than my right eye. When will this clear up and is there anything I can do to heal faster?
Sometimes it is harder to go through the recovery than to go though the surgery. Having swelling in the lower lids is not uncommon 3.5 weeks out. I would wait until two months have gone by before making any judgments. It is probably not possible to speed up your healing but avoid high salt diets and make sure your allergies (seasonal, that is) are in check if you have allergies.
I have severe ptosis & have severe heart problems. I wanted a facelift to fix everything, but due to my health condition that is not possible - I have heard eyelid surgery can be done with local anethestics and would reduce my risks.
should I see a plastic surgeon or an ophthalmologist who does this surgery? What's going to make me feel better about me appearance and long lasting?
You need to see before and after results of someone with significant ptosis. Whether you see a plastic surgeon or an ophthalmologist is less important than having someone who is comfortable operating on ptosis and has the results to back it up.
I am considering lower eyelid surgery due to eye shadows and lumps. The lumps are caused by a filler Evolence. What does this involve? Risks? Recovery? Costs? Please give input.
Hello Verne
If the bumps were caused by Evolence, I would certainly wait 12 months to allow Evolence to reabsorb. You can check with your physician, but that is the usual amount of time that Evolence is supposed to last. Since Evolence reabsorbs on its own, there would be no reason to have surgery to remove those bumps. In my Santa Rosa plastic surgery practice, I use Juvederm and Prevelle. If there is a bump it can be massaged early and eventually all the product reabsorbs anyway.
