I received a lower blepharoplasty 3 days ago. The first few days that was very minimal swelling and bruising. Yesterday my eyes were almost completely swollen shut. My incisions are bright red and hurt very bad. I have been taking all medication as prescribed and doing cold compresses all throughout the day. I am due to be married May 1st and my doctor told me I had plenty of time to heal before then. I am worried I have an infection and or something is wrong. Help please !

From the image that you have provided your eyes appear symmetrical and within a normal post operative range. You have not provided a preoperative image which is required if you are truly assessing a post operative result. RegardsDr Guy Watts
