I got a blepharoplasty three weeks ago and one of my lower eyelids is drooping. I am 58 yrs old and in good health. I am putting ointment in my eye and taping it into place every night and massaging it several times per day. After the first week, the eyelid came up a bit but no progress has been made in the last two weeks. My surgeon says she can put a stitch in the corner of my eye to pull the lid up if it does not improve. Is this the best way to fix it? How long should i wait?
I would urge a very conservative action at this time. Continue with your massaging and eyedrops as often as you can. Time will definitely lead to a better result for you. At the moment I think further surgery performed too soon to the time of your original surgery may creats even more swelling to the lower eyelid. I can't discount the possibility for the need for further surgery, but without examinig you it is hard to give you serious recommendations. Always follow the advice of your Plastic Surgeon or Oculoplastic Surgeon.
Good luck to you.

I'm considering to do lower eyelid surgery and the doctor said that he can do conservative fat removal and fat redraping. I fear that since my eye is prominent it may sag the lower eyelid and show more of the white are of my eyes. Would Restylane suit better for my eye anatomy?
I think you have a tendency for your lower eyelid to retract and so when the doctor does your eyes he amy want to tighten the lower lid with a canthoplasty or canthopexy.Fat addition would help as well.
My tear test was 4mm. I have some puffiness in the lower lids and some excess skin in the upper lids. I take antihistamines (Benadryl) regularly, could this cause my dry eyes? If I stop taking Benadryl would my eyes become less dry? I use antihistamine eye drops daily but I don't use drops for dry eyes. Under what circumstances could I have upper and lower eyelid surgery? What questions should I ask a plastic surgeon about my eyes? Does season matter (no winter surgery?)
Yes you can have surgery but one needs to be careful not ot take out too much upperlid skin and cause you to not be able to close your eyes.Also with regard to the lower lids maybe just taking out the fat might be the right way to go again because if too much skin is removed then your lower lid casn droop and exacerbate your dry eyes.
