I Had Upper Eyelid Surgery 4 Days Ago and There Has Been Swelling by my Cheekbones...is This Normal?

How long will it take to go away? It's making my face look like my cheekbones are sunken in.

A: Swelling after upper eyelid surgery

Swelling over the cheekbones and even down into the midface and cheek is fairly common after upper eyelid surgery.  This usually resolves within one to two weeks.  If there is concern over excessive or progressing swelling you should see your operating surgeon to further evaluate.

Which Would be the Best Option, Blepharoplasty or Filler? (photo)

I am 36 fair-skinned with very thin skin with less than optimal elasticity. I have bags under my eyes that are far worse in the morning compared to the evening hours. I also have dark eye circles. I have fairly prominent cheek bones. Do I need Blepharoplasty or filler? I'm tired of ALWAYS looking tired no matter how much I sleep.

A: Correction of lower lid contour

From your photographs it appears there is little to no fat pseudoherniation at the lower lid.  The problem is primarily some volume loss in the midface creating a contour change (depression) between the lid and the cheek mound.  This is correctable with volume enhancement by injectable fillers which will be a less complicated procedure for you and should cause no down time.
