Asked By:Notanut

Hello i got an upper eye blepharoplasty on 8/19/13 and i noticed it still feels tight and numb when i tried to put on makeup, i cannot feel my eyelids are numb, yet they hurt when i tried to apply eyeliner if that makes any sense. Is this normal? They also feel tight although i can close my eyes.
