Swelling (edema) takes a year and a half to disappear.

After 8 weeks the eyes "open" up considerably due to receding swelling, however, the eyes are so delicate that it can take up to 2 years to be considered fully healed. As time passes, the changes are considerable.

It doesn't seem fair to have to repay for the surgery after only three months. Especially since I don't think most plastic surgeons will consider a revision until at least six months after surgery. I had my revision a little over 5 months after the initial surgery and I didn't have to pay for a thing. My PS said any revisions/touch ups would be free for the first year.

It takes at least 6 months for things to settle. Don't be depressed yet! Bartlett is right; if your eye seems smaller it may be in part due to swelling in the lid.

Well realself ...so far the color has changed to normal but I've been told that I hike my brow up so it makes it hard for it not to seem lazy so it was suggested to get botox to relax the brow for a while...any other doctors who agree... and will that make my eye any smaller???
