Hi DP, thank you for your post. How are eyes doing now (June 2012)?
I completely understand your disappointment. Like you I had an upper blepharoplasty performed in April 2012. From the start, my left eye was a lot more swollen than my left eye. Two months after my surgery, my left eye was still swollen and the asymmetry became more and more apparent. I had several discussions with my doctor and there is a possibility that I might need to have a minor procedure done. But first I have to wait until the six months after the surgery date.

I am now few days shy of 3 months after my surgery and looking at your pictures, they look like how your eyes were in November 2009. That means, my eyes are healing in a much slower pace than yours. As of now, my left eye has a higher crease and the left eye incision is a lot more noticeable than my right eye. However, this was not done by my doctor on purpose like yours did. So basically, my procedure left me with a slight ptosis in my left eye, which is correctable but I now must wait. I wish I can time travel to October 2012 to see how my left eye will turn out so I can stop worrying about my current condition. It is definitely hard not to since we have to see it daily. I hope you are much happier now.
