One Eye Looks Different After Upper Blepharoplasty

April 10, 2009
Asked By:change111 in Los Angeles, CA

I just had my upper eyelids lifted a week ago. Although still red, most of the swelling has gone down. I am noticing that one eye is smaller and 'different' than the other. I went to a well-known and respected surgeon. Is it too soon to worry? Should I wait the full two weeks to really appreciate results?
