Hi DarDelgado and thank you for your question. The discoloration or redness that you are seeing will likely resolve as you continue to heal. I would encourage you to follow up with your board certified plastic surgeon to monitor your progress and to wear sunglasses and sunscreen for the next year to protect this sensitive area. I hope this helps.
Thank you for sharing your questions. The eyelids can appear red as they are healing. This discoloration can persists for up to a year, but can improve much sooner. Protect the area from the sun with sunblock and sunglasses. Good luck,
When you are about 6 months out, if the redness persists, it might be worth your while to consider your options. The redness is related to inflammation in the tissues from the surgery, only in part. You eyelids look like the central levator aponeurosis is disinserted. Thia will cause the upper eyelid platform to look long and the upper eyelid hollow. The levator is a white structure. When this is not in position, the upper eyelids can look more on the red side. Replacing the tendon back into position addresses this.
The color of your eyelid will most likely resolve on its own as you heal over time. The redness around your eyelids is normal manifestations of healing after surgery. Be sure to wear protective glasses and avoid exposure to the sun.
Thank you for sharing your photos. The discoloration on the incision line is completely normal and can appear red or pink for up to a year while healing. This will go away with time once the eyes are fully healed. Be sure to protect the skin in that area by using sunscreen and hats/sunglasses when out in the sun.
yes it probably will. it would of great interest to see a closed eye photo of you preop ( which I don't routinely take ). if this discolration was present preop it may not go away. fortunately it is much harder to see when your eyes are open.
It's difficult to tell from your picture because it appears as though the camera was above you. When analyzing upper lids its important to analyze the level of the eyebrow as well as excess skin on the upper eyelid. Although I cant be sure, an upper lid blepharoplasty most likely would be eff...
You can use vit K cream a few times a day starting a few days before your surgery and then keep your head elevated and lots of ice post op.
The findings you describe sound most consistent with a condition completely separate from the surgery you hade, called "Graves' Eye Disease" or "Thyroid Eye Disease." I would consult an ophthalmologist or ophthalmic plastic surgeon to check into the possibility of this condition.
