Bigger Eyelids After Upper Bleph- How to Tell if It's Just Swelling or a Problem? I am 15 days post op from an upper bleph. My eyes don't really feel swollen to me anymore, and things are starting to even out. However, my upper eyelids look larger than they were before surgery, and they are covering the top 1/4, maybe 1/3 of my pupils. It's making me look tired and I am scared it will stay that way. How can I tell if this is just swelling and will sort itself out, or if it's some sort of problem that I should be concerned about?

A: After Upper Blepharoplasty Swelling or Problem

It is normal to have some swelling 2 weeks after eyelid surgery. As per your description it seems that you have some ptosis of your upper eyelids. It could be due to post surgical swelling or it may be preexisting and you just discovered it since the excess skin on upper eyelids were removed. Look at your old photos and compare the level of your eyelids to your pupils. Anyhow is to early to do any thing now. Just relax and let everything heal and in a few months if your eyelid ptosis persist and does not resolve, it can be surgically corrected.

Tired Eyes at 25: Brow-lift or Blepharoplasty to Upper Lids? (photo) 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

A: Browlift versus blepharoplasty for younger patient

Just based upon the one photo you submitted, your eyebrows are in excellent position. It has a nice arch with the "foot" of the brow at the lateral or outside portion of the iris of your eye with tapering at the club or end of the brow. On the other hand you do have some excess upper eyelid skin that could easily be addressed by removing that typically under local anesthesia. I have had several younger patients like yourself who have a congenital amount of extra upper eyelid skin that makes them look tired and once it is removed you are set for many years if that is an issue for you.

Ptosis Repair - How to Speed Up Healing Process? resting from medical leave due to necessary ptosis repair (bilateral). just wondering, I have about a month to rest at home, what can I do to speed up the initial rate of recovery? I actually do have the time to put on warm compresses, will this speed things up? I am more concerned about whether I can open my eyes comfortably (which is why I got ptosis repair) again so I can read, drive and study better. so in general, how long should I expect for this?

A: Ptosis repair recovery

Typically, you should need about two weeks before you are recovered from your ptosis procedure. You shouldn't have too many issues after that time and should be able to do most if not all of your regular activities by then. I would speak to your surgeon to ge ttheir input.
