I had lower blepharoplasty and cheek implants 4 days ago. Left lower eyelid droops. Any suggestions? (photos)

Marios AdamFeb 10, 2016
4 days ago I had lower eyelid surgery on both eyes and upper blepharoplasty on right eye only. Moreover, the same day, I had malar cheek implants fitted, via mouth. Im 37 years old. There is a lot of swelling from the cheek implants. Also note that 70 days ago I had facelift (maxi lift). I'm very worried about the droop of my left lower eyelid. Will it return to original position by itself or a further surgery is necessary? Any imput would be highly appreciated. Thanks.

 Thank you for sharing your question. Usually, ptosis (droopy eyelid) is fixed with surgery. However, you can use an eyedrop to elevate your eyelid for about 8-10 hours. On my website you can see "Drop N Lift" which better explains this nonsurgical technique of eyelid elevation. Good luck,

Thank you for sharing your question. Have the blepharoplasty performed before the tattoo is placed. The eyelid shape and skin might be different after surgery. If the tattoo is placed prior to eyelid surgery, it can be pulled and moved by the surgery. Good luck,

Hello, Thank you for your question. I don't believe that you would benefit from a blepharoplasty at this time. All the best.
