Should I be worried about crying after eyelid surgery?

July 25, 2012
Asked By:SophieH

Some personal issues happened in my life and am now at 6 weeks post eyelid surgery op. I had extreme crying (though I tried hard not to) for a few days and my eyelids were swollen. That was a week ago, and now I have noticed a significant change in the crease (like as if some skin below the crease has overstretched due to the swollenness). A wrinkly bit of skin below the crease seem to be there eventhough my crying has stopped for a few days now. Do I need to see a doc? Should I be worried?
