I recently had a lower Blepharoplasty done 8 weeks ago. Just the removal of fat tissue, nothing elese. I hardly had any bruises after the procedure but the lower lids have always been a little puffy.
My surgeon, after examined them, said it was due to fluid retention and would get better over time. However, my eyes have been looking the same, 3 days post operation. If they haven't changed after 2 months, how would I expect them to ever change? Or, could my problem due to something else?
My surgeon said he cannot tell the condition will be permanent or not and there is nothing I can do. Can I do something to improve my condition? Any response will be appreciated.
It is unlikely to to get significant general body fluid retention after head and neck surgery, BUT some edema or fluid retention in the areas in which surgery was done is normal. After eyelid surgery, some swelling of the face is normal and can last up to two weeks, some swelling of the eyelids will persist for three or more months depending on what kind of surgery was done. Some eyelid surgery is combined with a cheek lift (or mid-face lift) and then the swelling can last even longer.
