Remaining Eye Bags After Lower Bleph - Glasgow, UK

I had an upper bleph so I'm no expert on a lower one, but my surgeon told me swelling can take up to 3 months to finally subside. If it's only been a month I'd give it more time.

I had a different lower bleph, it was through the inside of my lid so there was no outer incision.  I was swollen but it looked smoothly swollen, I couldn't see bags really.  I didn't have bad bags before, but noticeable.  So at 4 weeks i would say mine looked pretty healed even if they were still 'settling".  Do you have a before pic? I would expect a little bit more of a smoother appearance but if your doctor is confident that is it swellling, perhaps you can try to be patient although I know how hard it is to hear that.  I will say that my eyes definitely changed over a few months but I am mostly basing that on my uppers as they were a more dramatic change. 

I had the same feelings, after a month still felt had bags under my eyes, but give your self another month or even two and it will get better. I had the lower bleph and it can take up to four months for total improvement.

I hope all works out to your satisfaction. Keep us posted, and thanks for sharing.

I had upper and lower bleph. It's been about a year and it's still not "done". My surgeon never promised the bags would be GONE< but that is my result, they were gone, pretty soon...say 6 weeks after surgery...but the vision was also GONE for 6-8 weeks and I couldn't drive, read or GO anywhere...as my eyes were SO dry I had to put the super oily drops and ointments in them all day long, couldn't close my eyelids and the PAIN was and IS still there. The eye lids are still so tight I have to oil them a couple time of day or they are crunchy. DON'T keep on getting more done, or u may have horrible and real side effects.....LET THEM HEAL and I think you look GOOD...do NOT do any more surgery and try and focus on things YOU can do to look better like diet, exercise, working out...

I am GLAD you have nothing horribly wrong, and can see, and have had a good recovery...mine are still so tight..I can barely keep a contact in one eye (* it gets moved by the tight lid to behind the eyeball--never happened before..wore them since I was 16 years old... YOU look great and let enough time go by, for real healing...and then, PLEASE don't try to find someone who promises you they can erase them...I had HORRIBLE dark circles since I was BORN..and bags and puffiness for last decade. I have one eyelid that shows about 3x more lid than the other side...but it still doesn't look "that" bad and people who have never had surgery have similar now that I examine each and every person I come into contact with. Smile a LOT and charm everyone with your great personality and other gifts...you look wonderful!
