Its been two weeks since I had upper and lower eyelid surgery and am still unable to close my eyes properly especially on my right side. My husband says that it looks funny when I blink too.
Although difficulty with eye closure after blepharoplasty can be normal in some cases, it certainly warrants seeing your surgeon. In lower blepharoplasty, the fact of having undergone surgery makes the muscle that helps close the lid a little lazy. It recovers with time, usually within the first 7-10 days though this may be different for everyone. Swelling is another factor that can contribute to lid closure problems.
However, the fact that you are having trouble after two weeks and that it is asymmetrical, it deserves an evaluation by your surgeon. Even if there is no need for action, he will recommend to you measures to protect your eye from dryness, some of which have been mentioned here. However, in case it does require something, it is, as with everything, better to get evaluated sooner rather than later.
All the best.
Hello, I am a 25-year old female looking for a solution to my tired-looking eyes. I used to get compliments on my eyes all the time, but no longer, and I believe my upper lids are to blame. I also notice that it is harder to apply eyeshadow these days, especially in the crease area (or lack-thereof). I have attached a photo for reference. Would a brow-lift or a blepharoplasty better suit the situation? I can provide additional photos if needed. Any input is much appreciated! Thank you
It is hard to tell exactly from your photo, but I do not see much skin redundancy in your upper lid. Although I would not qualify your brows as drooping, there is a downward arch to them on the outer aspect. Although this could be addressed with a brow lift, it is hard to recommend without an in-person evaluation. One option would be to try a brow lift with Botox to see if you like it before committing to a surgical brow lift.
