Chicao has a surgeon who can do blepharoplasty without cutting on women of color (Dr. Julius Few). He goes in thru the lower eye lid. Is there an east coast plastic surgeon who does the procedure this way?
There is no true non-surgical Blepharoplasty especially if there is moderate skin excess. In my practice, we offer Ultherapy as a non-surgical peri-orbital rejuvenation. We find that we can achieve some skin tightening and brow lift. It is safe for all skin types. Otherwise, you may also benefit from other non-ablative skin tightening devices.
How long will it take to go away? It's making my face look like my cheekbones are sunken in.
Depending on the extent of dissection and skin redundancy, it is not unusual to have swelling and bruising to the level of the cheek bones especially the first 7-10 days after upper eyelid surgery. Keep your head elevated. Avoid strenuous physical activity and continue to communicate closely with your surgeon if your swelling has not improved by 10 days. Complete resolution of post-op swelling may take up to 4 weeks depending on the patient's age, over all health and medical as well as the extent of soft tissue dissection during the surgery.
I Had Upper and Lower Blepharoplasty. its Been a Month Now but my Upper Lid Still Swelling
While I'm sure it is a concern for you, some residual swelling 1 month after surgery would be within normal expected range. Tincture of time and local measures such as icing can be helpful. Most important, you should have a follow up visit with your surgeon so a formal exam can be done. Your surgeon knows what was done at the time of surgery and is in the best position to give you specific suggestions to resolve this.
