How long will it take to go away? It's making my face look like my cheekbones are sunken in.
Answer: Swelling in cheekbone area 4 days after upper blepharoplasty
Swelling in this area is common after eyelid surgery. We have our patients use ice for the first few days. We also have them try and keep their head elevated at 30 degrees for the first week to help the swelling. Keep in contact with your surgeon and let him/her know about your progess.

Answer: Swelling after upper eyelid surgery
Swelling over the cheekbones and even down into the midface and cheek is fairly common after upper eyelid surgery. This usually resolves within one to two weeks. If there is concern over excessive or progressing swelling you should see your operating surgeon to further evaluate.

Answer: Swelling After an Upper Eyelid Lift
Upper eyelid surgery can produce some swelling in the cheek area. This may be normal. Allow 10-14 days for the bulk of the swelling to go away. It may 3 month before all the swelling has resolved.

Answer: Absolutely normal
Yes. This is not unusual at all. The eyelid skin is quite thin and edema [fluid/swelling] and bruising will track around down to the lower lid and cheek due to gravity effects. Be patient and within a week or so it should be resolved.
