I still have swelling under one eye and numbness around both which makes it difficult to apply eyeliner. Is this normal? Can my age be a factor, (75)?
Answer: Swelling? Thank you for your question! It is normal for some swelling to linger around for a while. If you have any concerns I would consult with your doctor. Best of luck!Dr Dhaval Patel Double Board Certified Plastic SurgeonChicagoHoffman EstatesOak Brook

Answer: Swelling and numbness It is normal to have swelling a couple months after blepharoplasty. The swelling will gradually decrease and become less frequent over the next month or two. Numbness can still be present but should get better also in the ensuing months.

Answer: 8 weeks post-op blepharoplasty At 8 weeks some people will still have some swelling in the lower eyelids, especially if they had a fair amount of bruising or edema post-op. The numbness will slowly resolve - just need more time. This is quite variable.
