Your swelling and bruising looks appropriate for one week. It's very common to get swelling and eyelid drooping (ptosis) after having a surgical procedure. The postop swelling from the surgery creates extra weight on your eyelid and weighs it down to cause a droop. This should continue to improve each week and a lot of the swelling will resolve within the first month. However you may continue to see improvement in the lid height for up to 3-6 months after surgery. Continuing to follow up with you surgeon for repeat examinations while you're healing. Best of luck.
Thanks for sharing your photo -- but unfortunately without a before picture its impossible to judge your results. That being said, it can take about 6 weeks for swelling and bruising to improve and 6 months to a year before you'll really get a sense of the result. Follow your surgeon's guidelines and best of luck in your healing.
Thank you for sharing your case and photo. You look great for 1 week after ptosis repair. Most of the swelling and bruising will subside once your stitches are gone. Follow your surgeon's instructions and make sure to go to all of your follow-up visits. Good luck!
Best to see your surgeon or an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation. Eyelid ptosis can get worse as the day progresses and your effort to keep the eye open weakens. You may or may not benefit from additional ptosis surgery. Need proper consultation to determine. See following link too.
You can find an oculoplastic specialist (eye plastic surgeon) by visit asoprs.org.Also see following link on my website for details on eyelid ptosis surgery.
Thank you for sharing your concerns. You have normal eyelid/ eyebrow asymmetry and should not have any treatments performed. There is nothing unattractive about your eyes. Good luck,
Eyelid ptosis surgery can be tough, especially repeat ptosis surgery. However, there is a special procedure I use for revision eyelid ptosis surgery that has high success rate. See following link.
It is unlikely that one is related to the other. The eyelid muscle is innervated by the upper division of the third cranial nerve. Congenital ptosis is related to embryological malformation of the levator muscle. The etiology of convergence insufficiency is unknown.
Thank you for sharing your question and photo. When performed by an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon, ptosis repair is usually quite easy and quick for the patient. Daily use of certain eyedrops can raise the eyelids, but your intraocular pressure needs to be monitored. Good luck,
