After 1 Month Post Op Upper and Lower Bleph the Eye Bags Under my Right Eye Are Back??

Or it could be a relative hollowing below the eye that could really be filled in with fat and / or fillers.

I hope this helps

It is important to have this conversation before surgery.

This is a common cause of disappointment. You are still quite early from surgery, so the eyelid will continue to heal and change. It is definitely worth bringing your concerns to the...
