Min S. Ahn, MD answers: Asymmetrical eyelids after Blepharoplasty

I think I have asymmetrical eyelids after 8 weeks of upper Blepharoplasty. My right eye crease is a bit higher than the left eye's, and that causes uneven eye shapes. Not sure if swelling still exists on the right eye, but it looks more puffy than the other. I'm not sure if I'll be happy or satisfied, but will I need a revision surgery? Will the swelling eventually go away after 2 months or so? If revision surgery is needed, will that involve correcting the right eyelid only, or both?

It is very common to have asymmetry between the two eyelids after Asian eyelid surgery even after two months. There still may be swelling and definitely healing of the incision. You should wait until the 6 month mark to make a decision on corrective surgery.
