Notify Your Doctor

Scott E. Kasden, MD answers: Can't open eyes 25 days after Blepharoplasty

My eyes are still puffy and swollen 25 days after upper Blepharoplasty procedure. I'm also having problems opening my eyes, and the scars hurt and feel tight. Is this temporary? What can be done about it?

This is not a normal situation.  You should notify your surgeon and have him evaluiate you.  Hopefully, this will self correct, but you need to work closely with your doctor.
