12 Days Post-surgery for Upper & Lower Blepharoplasty - Bubble Swelling Under One Eyelid? (photo)

It is not at all unusual for one side to heal differently than the other after blepharoplasty surgery.  The swelling can take longer to resolve on one side versus the other.  What is important is that the swelling should be improving and not getting worse.  If things have been improving, I would give the healing some more time.  If you feel the swelling is getting worse in any way, you should see your surgeon to be evaluated.  

Every one heals and swells a bit differently aftery surgery, but your photo is completely within the normal range of recovery. Furthermore there is nearly always asymmetry in the degree of swelling between then eyes.  Be patient and wait 3 months before evaluating your results.

It looks like you have swelling of the lids which is normal.  Give it time to settle down.  It should improve over the next few months.

This is edema in the area between the incision and the lower lid margin. This can take a few months to fully subside. 

It is not unusual to get this degree of swelling of the lower eyelid following a blepharoplasty.  Swelling will never be symmetric.  Give it time and things will even out.
