Eye twitching after blepharoplasty. One eyes still has numbness. Any suggestions?

August 13, 2015
Asked By:Villager in Lady Lake, FL

This is a follow-up to my previous question. I forgot to mention that the eye having the twitching still has numbness along the lash line. The other eye has no twitching, and the numbness is almost completely gone. This was an upper blepharoplasty.

Twitching eyelid after blepharoplasty. Should I be worried?
James R. Gordon, MD, FACS, FAAO says:
