12 Days Post-surgery for Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty - Bubble Swelling Under One Eyelid? (photo)
I just had upper and lower blepharoplasty. One eye the swelling is even and reducing. But on the other eye, my lower eyelid has much more swelling and is bubbled and bulging in appearance, especially at the outer edge it sticks out a lot. I know I am in the early stages of healing and I have been meticulous about icing and ointment. I am just wondering if this bubbling is still within normal range and if it will continue to go down, or if there is cause for concern. Thanks!
