Thank you for your inquiry!  The eyelid swelling can improve over the first few months following ptosis surgery.  Along with that, the height and contour of the upper eyelid may change as the swelling resolves.  I would recommend continuing to follow-up with your eyelid surgeon throughout the healing process and he/she can intervene if needed when the timing is right. 

Good luck! 

Thanks for your question.  We all have asymmetries between our eyelids and the sides of our face.  In your photo, it looks like your right eyelid may be slightly lower than the left eyelid, which gives the illusion that the right eye may be smaller.  The eyelid position can vary based on the direction that the photo is taken, so I would recommend having an in person consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon to perform a thorough examination.  

The pupil size also varies based on the lighting and whether the flash of the camera is being used.  Its possible that your pupils also look 'small' because of the blue color of your iris.  

I hope that helps - good luck!  

Thank you for your question and your photos.  I can see that there is rounding of your lower eyelids, which can happen following lower eyelid surgery.  There are many different techniques in performing lower eyelid blepharoplasty, and in doing so, some of them may lead to scarring that causes the lower eyelids to pull down following the healing phase.  I would recommend seeing an oculoplastic surgeon to assess the lower eyelid position.  In the meantime, the eyes can dry out when the lower eyelid pulls down, so I would recommend the regular use of artificial tears. 

Good luck!  

Thanks for your question.  There are many reasons that you might be having double vision following an orbital floor fracture.  I would recommend getting an in-person consultation with an oculoplastic surgeon to have a thorough examination to determine the cause of your double vision and whether there is any treatment.  Unfortunately, 'therapy' or 'exercises' are not typically effective in helping with your double vision.  

Good luck! 

Within the first few weeks following a brow lift, the eyebrows are often higher than their final resting place, and this is done intentionally knowing that they will come down as you heal.  As difficult as it is, I would recommend being patient with your healing process to allow all of your swelling to subside and allow your eyebrows to come to their final resting position. 

Best of luck with your healing process!
