“Unhappy about bleph under eyes”

Eyelid Surgery: Worth it

Cost: $7,000
Pain: Severe
Eyelid Surgery satisfaction: Fair2 Star Rating: Fair
I do not recommend my Eyelid Surgery provider: Name not provided
Why: Because I expected to see significant improvement to the way my eyes looked after surgery and they did not. Also, I felt that he was a bit distant in his manner
Seeking help:

How can I eliminate the residual swelling under my eyes? I am particularly interested in finding out whether there is a non-invasive treatment that I can use.
Review of Eyelid Surgery:

I had a blepharoplasty done about 2 years ago to reduce the saggy skin from under my eyes which I felt made me look much older than I felt. The procedure was done under local anaesthesia, which turned out to be very painful.

Although I had the standard post-op visits and applied the cold compresses etc., my face became quite swollen about a couple of weeks after surgery, and the swelling persisted for some months. The doctor actually had to remove the fluid (by injecting under the eyes). However, I still have some swelling under the eyes, (just on the cheekbones). The swelling is larger under the left eye than the right.

We usually do lower lid surgery under sedation which makes it more comfortable. We use a CRNA to administer medication and our OR is accredited for the use of intravenous sedation. That is very important.
