Bags Under Eyes After Surgery? (photo)

It is completely normal to have some swelling under the eyes after upper eyelid surgery and this should completely resolve with more time.  Three days after the surgery is around the time of maximal swelling, so things should start improving soon.  The swelling moves with gravity and the area of the lower eyelids is always the place where it settles last, so that is why it is the worst there.  

Any operation is associated with a certain amount of post operative swelling. Because the soft tissues of the lower lid are somewhat loose a significant amount of lower lid swelling is occasionally seen . It will resolve this time.

You didnt send a picture, but this sounds totally normal. Fluid is pulled downward by gravity and often collects in the under eye area. The bags should improve over the next several weeks. Ice is always a good idea to reduce swelling. I would also recommend trying to sleep with your head elevated on several pillows. This helps reduce the pooling of fluid while you sleep.

ONLY day 3!!! The posted photo shows swelling and black & blue effect. Did not your surgeon explain the healing phases following surgery?? If not than call and see him/her ASAP to be "informed". 

Bags under the eyes are normal after surgery. It is most likely from swelling. Give it some time to settle down.
