I'm post op day 6, and I have lots of swelling after upper/lower blepharoplasty (including fat injection to upperlid). The swelling encompasses my cheeks, nose, and the sides of my eyes. The swelling was getting slightly better by day 3, but then it actually got WORSE after the stitches and bandages were removed on day 5 - is that normal? The swelling continued to get worse the day after the stitches were removed and I can hardly open my eyes again.
