Still Droopy Eight Weeks After Upper Blepharoplasty

There are two common situations following eyelid surgery that you are potentially describing.  The first is actual upper eyelid ptosis were the upper eyelid margin where the eyelashes live has drooped as a result of the tendon that raises the eyelid having slipped from surgery or swelling from surgery.  The other situation is after having skin removed from the upper eyelid fold, the muscles that support the eyebrow relax allowing the eyebrow to fall increasing lateral hooding.  

Distinguishing these two situation may require an assessment by your surgeon.  Also be aware that while your surgeon may have been qualified to perform the original cosmetic surgery on the eyelid, fixing whatever problem that you may be experiencing after surgery may require an actual eyelid specialist.

While it is still too early to make any decisions on revision eyelid surgery, there can be edema in the lateral corners of the eyelids. Wait at least three to four months before making any decisions on tuck eyelid surgery at this point. Full edema and swelling usually subsides by four months after the procedure.

NEED a photo!!!! But my guess is lag syndrome after upper lid blepharoplasty. Consult an eye doctor for treatment. Usually self corrects.
