One week is too early

W. Tracy Hankins, MD answers: Upper eyelids too hollow after Blepharoplasty and Brow lift

Here is a picture of my upper eyelid job 1 week post op. I had a Brow lift too. My eye shape  has changed and I now have a thick lid without softness above my eye. My stitches are out tomorrow--should I be concerned or will this change? Please advise. Thanks so much!

A browlift is a fairly extensive procedure which involves releasing the attachments to the bony orbit to allow the brows to be lifted.  This causes significant swelling and one week is not nearly enough to evaluate your operative results.
