It’s been over 8 weeks since I had upper and lower blephoplasty. I’m pretty happy with upper lids but is this as good as I can expect with the lowers? I still have tear troughs and it’s either fat directly under my eyes or swelling. But I’ve not seen much change in the last few weeks, and I am very aware of stating away from salt intake etc.

Answer: 8 week post upper/lower blepharoplasty - is this as good as it gets? Even though you're 8 weeks post-op and it's still early to pass final judgement- I would expect a greater degree of skin removal from the upper lid blepharoplasty. The lower lid result may still show improvement with resolution of post-op swelling.

Answer: Blepharoplasty tips at this stage, you appear to be healing well. Swelling will continue to recede up to 4 to 6 months after surgery. After that, it is often useful to use fillers such as Belotero in the tear trough. Residual fine lines may benefit from a chemical peel. More skin removal is not usually helpful for that. Lastly, any lower lid buldging or wrinkling that happens when smiling can be smoothened with Botox placed in small doses at the tear trough level. Give it time before you try these steps.
