Bruising after eyelid surgery

Amir M. Karam, MD answers: Will bloodshot eyes after Eyelid Surgery fade?

Even though it's small, I have a red blood shot in my right eye following upper and lower Blepharoplasty.

I am on day 8 after surgery. Eye sight was blurry but it went away. Bruising is still present but decreasing. Skin turned a bit yellow. Will the bloodshot go away? Thank you.

 It is normal to have bruising and bloodshot eyes after blepharoplasty.  Although, it does not alway occur, it is certainly possible.  It takes time for the body to heal and resolve these finding.
