How Much Swelling Should I Have After 2 Weeks of Upper Bleph? - Washington, DC

i think you still have some swelling. I had quite a bit of puffiness and bruise but it went away. Best wishes.

I just had my upper lids and lower done 2 weeks ago and I also have some puffyness over one eye more then the other. It kind of looks like they should of taken more fat from my upper lid. I'm just hoping it doesn't stay like that. My upper lids never had a crease so I wasn't too keen on wearing eye shadow sine you wouldn't be able to see it. That's one of the reasons I had the uppers done. How do they look now?

I had mine done a couple of years ago upper and lower..had a lot of extra skin above and although an ample amount was removed and I see a great improvement, I too feel that more skin could have been taken after the fat removal. I consulted another Dr. recently and although he was quite conservative in other areas he did agree my eyes could be re-done..that he could take off more skin. This is so irritating to me because I explained to the first Dr. that I wanted them as tight as could be. He said well that creates that "surprised" look and doesn't look natural. I am so sick of these Drs. saying we have to look natural...who cares? Some people have tight eyes "naturally" or really small noses so just do what we ask the FIRST time please. So many people I know have had to have procedures done 2 & 3 times to get them the way they want. Who has the time and money. Drs are afraid they'll do the eyes too tight (which can happen) so they do a little less than they should thinking the patient will be happy enough. I would go back and complain if I were you...I should have 2 years ago becasue I didn't get what I asked for...do it right...make 'em tight...the first time! We have the surgery because we want to look different..not to look just about the same after all the down time and cost!

9444anon - did you ever expierence your brow not moving? A few days ago I was looking in the mirror and wanting to see my lids so I raised my eyebrows and the eyelid that is swollen didn't move at all. I then squinted and again that same eye didn't respond. I looked funny because I've never had that. I called my PMD and told him about it and his response was that he never touched my eyebrow which I know he hadn't and I asked him if it could be because of the bleph and he said no - that maybe I discovered a talent I didn't know I had. That was totally not a response he should of told me. I don't know if he was joking or what but he said when I go back for my 2 month check he would make my brow move.

well ladies, I too had an upper eye lid surgery done 7 days ago & I look and also think that more skin could have been taken out. I hope that this is just post surgery swelling that has not gone down. any feed back ladies? I also think that the scars on non-semetrical.
