What you are experiencing a 3 weeks after surgery is all normal.  After reviewing your pictures, you have a degree of swelling still present which continues to present as a "bulging" in the upper lid.  This will smooth and soften as the swelling continues to resolve.  The "pinching" you refer to is due to the lower lid tightening procedure (canthopexy) which appears to have been performed.  This too will soften over time.  Massage in this area is also possible to allow softening, although I would not do anything until you consult with your surgeon.  Good Luck, Dr. Corrado

From what you seem to be describing, it appears you had a tranconjunctival Blepharoplasty (incisions made on the inside of the lower eyelid).  Routinely this is the procedure of choice in young individuals who present with excess fatty deposits under the eyes without much redundant skin.  It is an excellent approach which forgoes the need for visible external incisions, and preserves the strength and integrity of the lower eyelid.  If redundant skin is present after a tranconjunctival Blepharoplasty it can be removed with a minor skin pinch procedure.  I suggest you consult with your surgeon regarding the latter once you are fully healed.... Good Luck  Dr. Corrado

Many times following overaggressive blepharoplasty, patients can be left with a hollowed or sunken appearance.  Overly aggressive fat removal in the upper lid may actually give the upper lid an "aged" look rather than rejuvenation.  To correct this issue I would suggest autologous fat transfer to the upper lid.  When performed by an experienced surgeon, this procedure can help to add volume to the upper lid, and help regain a youthful appearance.  Excess removal of fat in the lower lid can also cause the same appearance.  Autologous fat grafting in the lower lid can also help to correct your problem, but this is a delicate area, and I suggest you find a surgeon who is experienced in performing fat transfer in this region.  Good Luck, Dr. Corrado
