I think I have asymmetrical eyelids after 8 weeks of upper Blepharoplasty. My right eye crease is a bit higher than the left eye's, and that causes uneven eye shapes. Not sure if swelling still exists on the right eye, but it looks more puffy than the other. I'm not sure if I'll be happy or satisfied, but will I need a revision surgery? Will the swelling eventually go away after 2 months or so? If revision surgery is needed, will that involve correcting the right eyelid only, or both?

Answer: Eyelid asymmetry after asian eyelid surgery
You should wait about 6mo after surgery to reevaluate. The asymmetry will improve. It appears that you have asymmetric ptosis which most likely was there preoperatively. This usually worsens during the healing process if not addressed at the time of surgery. If at 6mo the asymmetry persists, then the ptosis will need to be corrected - it looks like it's in both eyes, more so on the right eye than the left.

Answer: Don't touch a thing: Swelling after upper lid blepharoplasty This is still too early to draw any long term conclusions about the final result. If this is a double eyelid surgery then occasionally the swelling on the eyelid can persist. However, there are numerous other causes which should be evaluated by your surgeon prior to drawing any conclusions. These can include: edema (swelling) lymphatic obstruction stye/chalazion obstruction of eyelid structures mechanical factors (sleeping with your head towards the right side) previous scars infection dry eye syndrome inflammation chemical irritation numerous other causes Discuss this with your surgeon but be patient. Occasionally there are some dimple solutions that depend upon the cause. From your pictures it looks mild and is likely to resolve without any additional treatment. I would advise you against seeking any revisions at this point in time and do not feel it will be necessary. Take care! I hope this hleps
