Under Eye Loose Skin and Wrinkles Normal After Blepharoplasty?

April 19, 2009
Asked By:Jill in NY in USA

I had upper and lower Blepharoplasty two weeks ago. The main reason was for bags, loose skin and wrinkles under my eyes. I was told that these could be corrected by removing some fat and tightening up the loose skin. While it looks like some of the puffiness is gone, I am very concerned about remaining loose skin and wrinkles under my eyes. I am feeling very upset and disappointed at my result. I don't feel like the skin under my eyes was tightened up and deep wrinkles are still present. Is this a normal outcome and is it acceptable? It does not seem acceptable to me. Thanks.
