Blethoplasty procedure successful? Eyes are still puffy, and hollowness wasn't corrected? (Photo)

February 16, 2014
Asked By:CMcBride

16 m post op, the results on the lower lids are fading and the upper lid has some kind of nerve issue. The puffiness and hollow look is starting to show through again. At 6 months, the doctor said that the hollow never was meant to be taken care of by the extensive surgery. We had no pre-op appointment and I never got a clear explanation of what kind of results to expect.. I hate the returning bags and wonder if they will worsen and what I should do?
