I have a fear of not being to open my eyes due to swelling, etc. Thanks
Answer: Swelling after eyelid surgery It is normal for the eyes to become swollen and to bruise after upper and lower eyelid surgery. This can make your eyelids heavy and feel like they can't open well. Ice can help with the swelling. I usually ask my patients to ice for 20 minutes of each hour while awake during the first 3 days after surgery to minimize swelling.

CONTACT NOW Answer: Eyelid opening after blepharoplasty surgery While there could be significant swelling and bruising after a blepharoplasty procedure, it would be very unusual to not be able to open the eyes. The swelling might make it difficult but you should still be able to open them after the surgical procedure. Good luck with your procedure if you decide to proceed.

Answer: Eyelid opening After eyelid surgery, swelling is very common. I typically tell our patients to expect a 7-10 day period of swelling with these treatments.

Answer: It should not happen. However, eyelids can swell and be heavy. If the surgery is done correctly, this will not be a problem. The challenge is eyelids with preexisting ptosis that is not corrected with blepharoplasty. Swelling can actually exacerbate the ptosis. The solution is to recognize the ptosis and correct that at the time of cosmetic blepharoplasty. Unfortunately this seems to rarely happen because the majority of blepharoplasty surgeons often don't know their anatomy once they get a few layers deep into the eyelid.

Answer: Swelling after eyelid surgery This is a frequently asked question among my patients. It is normal to have bruising and swelling after eyelid surgery. In most cases you can open and close your eyes after surgery. The swelling may make it seem harder to open and close your eyes, but normal movement should return shortly after surgery. It is very unusual to have difficulty with eyelid movement or blurred vision for more than a couple of days after surgery and in many cases there is no changes in movement noticed by the patient.
