I have malar edema after filler. Do I need to get this edema down before doing a lower blepharoplasty? (Photo)

Each provider will have their own opinion.
I think most plastic surgeons would like to see surrounding tissues back to baseline before doing surgery.
Based on your picture, I don’t see a strong indication for a lower eyelid blepharoplasty.
It looks like you have weakness in your lower eyelids, and a lack of midface volume is the primary issue, not fullness from the fat pads in the lower eyelids.
Talk to your provider or consult with oculoplastic surgeons, facial plastic surgeons, or plastic surgeons in your community.
Lower eyelid, blepharoplasty surgery can be tricky and should only be done when clearly indicated.
The procedure can leave undesirable outcomes if done, inappropriately or on patients or not good candidates.
