I recently had a bilateral lower blepharoplasty done 4 1/2 weeks ago. Swelling had resolved after a week or so, but over the past few days both, lids are getting puffy again. How long does swelling take to completely reslove? Do I need to go back to my surgeon as early as possible?
The swelling that you have experienced following your blepharoplasty is normal. I advise my patients that after surgery they will most likely experience some noticeable swelling that will subside within two to six weeks. Patients should know some minor swelling can remain for as long as six months, and their lid contours may continue to change. Final results may not be seen until the six month mark. There are several exercises that you can do to assist with healing as well. You may also want to massage the lids. I suggest discussing your concerns with your surgeon. Best of luck, Dr. Clevens
I am 31 days post-op from upper and lower blepharoplasty. There was no fat removed, just skin. I believe he did something with my muscle, but i'm not quite sure what. I have a dissolvable stitch on my right eye that you can see in the picture that hasn't gone away yet, and still quite a large bag under my left eye. As you can also see, my left eye is still larger than the right. Is it normal to still have this?

About a week ago I had a Muellerectomy on my left upper eyelid to correct some drooping. It's healed well as far as bruising and pain. The stitches are starting to get annoying and I wish I could wear my contacts already. But, when I actually look at my eye, it seems as if nothing has changed. It almost seems like my eye is 'smaller.' Could this be due to still present swelling? Or does the actual healing take time to set in with the muscle attachment? Thanks!
