It's neither good nor bad
Canada,
Moving your eyes really has no effect on the result of your blepharoplasty. Some surgeons don't even stitch the blepharoplasty incision and it heals phenomenally. Enjoy it!

Repeated Eye Movement After Blepharoplasty
Hi Canada,
Moving the eyes is a good thing after blepharoplasty; at least from a surgeon's point of view it means that the eye muscles are intact and functioning. It is fine to move your eyes and lids. Excessive pulling on the lids to examine the incisions is not necessary, and may cause sutures to come out resulting in widening of the incision line. Relax, be patient, and don't touch your eyes so much. Be well and enjoy your youthful eye lids.
