Bags After Blepharoplasty, Will They Go Away? (photo)

          At 7 weeks, there may be residual swelling.  Waiting 6 months or so after lower eyelid surgery is probably the prudent advice to observe.                                            Kenneth Hughes, MD                                                                                                                                         Los Angeles, CA

Thank you for your pictures.  The fullness of your lower eyelids may improve over the next 6 weeks.  Swelling/fullness around the eyelids is sometimes slow to resolve.

It's normal to have residual swelling weeks to months after your eyelid surgery. Although most swelling improves over the first few weeks, residual swelling does take time to resolve.  You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon as well.  Good luck.
