Eye won't close after upper blepharoplasty. Will it eventually close all the way? (Photo)

You are in trouble now.  The upper eyelid is unable to close due to a motor nerve weakness in the orbicularis oculi platform muscle.  That partly accounts for why you are having trouble close the eye.  This actually occurs very commonly after blepharoplasty but is very common after aggressive upper eyelid surgery.  What we don't know since you are only 1 week out from surgery is how much recovery are you likely to experience in this eyelid as you heal.  I am concerned about the corneal exposure you are having.  You need aggressive lubrication for the ocular surface. If your surgery was performed by a general plastic surgeon or a facial plastic surgeon, they lack the equipment, training and skill to manage post blepharoplasty dry eye.  I encourage you to be assessed by your general ophthalmologist or if necessary, and oculoplastic surgeon.  You need to follow up with your surgeon but I think you are going to need more help to keep the eyes comfortable while you heal.  Please keep us posted about your progress.

You have a small amount of incomplete closure.  This occurs quite commonly after upper eyelid surgery, and as the swelling resolves, the lid should start to close better. The nerve sometimes is also affected from the edema, and this will improve with time.  Use a lot of artificial tears during the day, and put some ointment in at bedtime.  If you are still feeling dry you can get a protective shield to wear at bedtime.  With any dryness after surgery patients will experience excess tearing.  This will improve as the blink improves.   

Thank you for your picture. Since you are only one week after surgery your eyelids close you should approve over the ensuing weeks. In the meantime to protect the globe of your eyes I would recommend placing ointment between the eyelids and taping eyelids closed at night while sleeping. This Will prevent dry of the globe of your eyes and possible ulcerations.
