I would be patient

Scott E. Kasden, MD answers: One eye barely changed after Blepharoplasty

I had Blepharoplasty done 5 weeks ago, and I immediately noticed post-surgery that the incisions were not the same. However, I didn't worry. Now, one eye looks wonderful and awake, but the other still has overlapping skin and looks tired. What could have happened? Is this result common with the procedure? I'm not sure if I should call my doctor prior to our next appointment (at the 10th week), or just wait and let it heal.

None of us is perfect, patient or doctor.

It is possible for a number of reasons that your result will not be perfect. It is still yet early to judge however. Even if there is an imperfection, it can usually be easily fixed, usually in the office, with minimal discomfort.

Hope this helps.
