4 weeks after lower blepharoplasty and skin pinch and it looks like my surgeon took more fat out in the left eye. Is this possible? My right eye suffered a bit more trauma - a subconjunctival hemorrhage - and while that's healed up quite nicely, the right looks a LOT different than the left still. He mentioned that the fat distribution was different in the right eye. Is it possible he didn't take enough out? My eyes look pretty different from one another.

Chalazion is Greek for stone, meaning a small stone in the eyelid. It has a typical appearance, especially from the undersurface of the eyelid.An oculoplastic surgeon will be able to examine the eyelid and then treat either medically or surgically with incision and curettage.
The redness in the skin is a natural byproduct of a CO2 laser. It should gradually improve with time. Skin emollients and avoidance of UV radiation is imperative.
Very good analysis of your situation. There are pros and cons to each surgery and indications for treatment. If you meet criteria, physically - emotionally - and psychologically, you may be considered for the surgery after an examination, informed consent, and evaluation are provided.
