Thank you for taking the time to answer my questions I had upper eyelid surgery 4 weeks ago. I notice that my eyelids are still baggy especially in the corner. Do you think this is how I sold expect my surgery to have ended up?

Answer: 4 weeks is still so very early.
Your photos are not really the best for evaluating the result. Bottom line is that in the before photo you have a great deal of brow ptosis and a compensatory muscular brow lift. In the after photo, your brow has now a relaxed appearance. This will cause a slight fall in the eyebrow position but overall can make for a relaxed look. Do you need more skin removed or a forehead lift? It is best to be patient and discuss the overall result with a couple of more months of healing.

Answer: Still early but...
Your eyelids look very appropriate for this early after surgery. Furthermore the fullness that you are mentioning on the outer corners is not an eyelid issue: It is an eyebrow issue. You have very full eyebrows which is actually a sign of youth. In some patients, I might recommend a browlift to help with the fullness, but in your case, your actual eyebrow position is quite natural and raising them further would make the arch too dramatic, in my opinon.
Wait another couple months and I think as the residual swelling resolves, you will be happy with your result.
