Lower Blepharoplasty Complication After 5 Months, Is a Revision Recommended? I had a lower bleph 5 months ago. I had an incision under the eye and fat removed. One eye is perfect the other is left larger and I have a small scleral show about 1mm. My lower eyelid looks lower than the other). I know this is not much but to me it is making me very unhappy. I have been to see an oculoplastic surgeon for a second opinion and he said it is very slight compared to others but he could perform a canthpexy or canthoplasty to correct this, but could this make it worse? Very worried

A: Scleral show after lid surgery

There are some individuals who have a small degree of scleral show naturally, though most do not, and lid postion can be altered with lower lid surgery. If you are troubled by the show on one side a canthopexy will tighten and lift the lid. Could it make things worse? Perhaps though it can be done well. The procedure would be much like doing one lid over from the start.

Best of luck, peterejohnsonmd.com

Feeling of Great Tightness Nearly 4 Weeks After Surgery, How Long Until It Loosens? Hi, I had upper eyelid surgery nearly 4 weeks ago. One eye, which didn't shut completely after surgery, shut two weeks after, but I still have a feeling of great tightness in that eye like someone is pulling my eye skin upwards towards my eyebrow and is making my eye feel very tired and is giving me headaches. The swelling in that eye is mainly only in the area between the eyelash and incision and the swelling improves towards the evening but the feeling of tightness never goes. Why is this?

A: Great tightness after upper eyelid surgery

We hope that the tighness will resolve. The key is choosing a surgeon well trained and board certified. No telling what was done, and when it might get better.

Poor Dysport Results Last Time, is it Time for Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Instead? (photo) Always had great results with Botox but went with Dysport last time and results were horrible. Made my eyes smaller, brow lower and lids super puffy. It's worn off now but my lids have become so hooded that they stick together, I raise my brow to see better and I always look mad (due to being 45, not result of Dysport). Do I go with Botox/Dysport again or get upper and lower lid surgery? Or given how my lower lids look, would fillers work instead? Thanks!

A: Lid rejuvenation and Botox work in different ways

Botox along the crow's feet area can tend to relax and raise the brow slightly and open the lid, though upper lid rejuvention works in a different way reducing skin hooding, improving upper lid 'show', and reducing fat or fullness in the inner lid. If Botox pleased you in the past, keep it up, though if the lid hooding is getting you down, it is time for blepharoplasty.

	“Upper Blepharoptosis, Lid Cut Too...” His nurse, pushed this procedure along with a lower facelift (which left a small horseshoe scar in the right temple) so I could wear eyeshadow. I did not ask originally for an upper blepharoptosis. His nurse pushed it. He cut my left eye lid too high, it cannot be revised as the eye may not be able to close leading to blindness. He said both eyes measured... more
	“Assymetry of Eyes After Upper Lower...” 2 weeks ago i had a upper and lower eye lift, as well as a brow lift.My left eye was much more swollen and seems to be taking longer to heal. my lower eye surgery was when the DR put green lenses in my eye and scooped and enjected my own fat through the inside of the lower lids after 2 weeks all seems to be going well bur my right eye is more open and i noticed that more
	“Upper and Lower Eyelift-looks Really...” My upper and lower eyelids were very 'baggy' and I felt self-conscious about this. I originally was going to have a face lift and my eyes done at the same time, but only had my eyes done and I'm glad I decided to do it this way.The surgery was really easy-it took about 2.5-3 hours under twilight. I was a little groggy afterwards. I never had any pain from the surgery and only took some Tylenol... more
	“Should Have Done It Long Ago. Love...” My upper eyelids have been puffy and drooping more and more since I was in my twenties. At fifty, they were almost obscuring my eyes. I had an upper eyelid surgery to remove excess fat and skin; not a whole lot of pain. Looked like a horror movie for a week, was back at work in 10 days. Now I can see my eyes, and people really do say, 'you're not wearing you're glasses anymore' (never did)... more
