My op was January 2 and have a swelling in the left eye mostly in the morning. Seems like it is not an infection but looks like more fat was left on the left brow compared to right. So mis matching eyes. Second opinion says may need skin grft/ to make eyes look the same. Doesn't make sense to me as the left eye is already bigger than the right. Check with and ophthalmologist too. I'm not happy with my results and will do some sort if revision by 12th month. I have previous pictures posted under screen name I think u can search that way. Do u have pictures?
My surgeon wanted to wait 10 days to take out the stitches, but my eyes felt so tight and were getting tighter that I couldn't stand it any longer, he took them out on day 7. I have hear of stitches staying in 10 days before. If the stitches are under the skin they won't leave marks.
So I'm now 3 months post op. Left eye is still bigger looking than the right. Looks like the eye ball is swollen and when I smile the right eye looks smaller than the left. Its very disturbing. Two different results on each eye. PS tryed Drops, creams, vitamins etc nothing worked original surgeon didn't know what to do next, asked me if I wanted to try an antibiotic for a sinus infection??? ??? Huh... What?..... I had NO symptoms of a sinus infection, when I told him this he said yeh ok. Then he suggested I should use a eye mask ..............OMG.Have never had a doctor ask me if I wanted to try meds! He should know what hes doing. Will never go back to him. Second opinion said give it 12 months before revision, (then pay the big buck again) to have the first PS surgery fixed. Second opinion said this is probably close to my final result due to to much fat begin taken out of the left eye brow/lid, so left eye looks sunken and bigger than the right. Will require a fat transfer/skin graft maybe? Just so upsetting. Not sure if I can do it. Don't like the results, and would never have done this surgery if I knew this would happen. Hope you have good results from your PS. Get a second and third opinion if you need, it does help.
