How long can it take to completely heal from lower lid blepharoplasty?

Asked By:JJTroy27 in Harwich, MA

It's been 5 months since having lower lid bleph. Mostly happy with results, but I still have some swelling/redness (looks shiny at times) around the eyes as well as fairly dramatic puffiness after a night out. I also get the occasional "Are you wearing mascara?" due to the incision scar. I think I remember my doctor telling me it could be up to a year before full healing, but should these be issues at this point? Are these issues here to stay? Thought I'd look normal by now. Thanks!
