Upper Eyelid Swelling after Fat Grafting for Lower Eyelid Retraction

Fat grafting improved your lower eyelid retraction. That is wonderful. However, swelling after fat transfer is common and may make take several weeks to months to completely resolve.

Lower eyelid surgery

Dear nonaalamorah, The swelling in the lower eyelids can act like a dam that keeps swelling around longer where it can back up in the upper eyelids If it hurts, looks red, or feels warm, please see your doctor ASAP If it is improving, it will continue to do so Best regards, Nima Shemirani
