Chemosis on Right Eye Causing Asymmetrical Eyes Will Get Better? (photo)

Chemosis is troublesome and can be disturbing to some patients. It is not uncommon.   It will usually resolve, but it can take some time.  You are still very early in your post operative course.  Please do keep your surgeon informed as to what is going on.

Chemosis or conjunctival swelling after lower eyelid surgery is common. it will of course cause your lids to look asymmetric. This will resolve once the chemosis settles. A topical anti inflammatory drop will help to speed the recovery

Chemosis is not uncommon after any type of eyelid procedure especially transconjunctival lower lid blepharoplasty.  I have found that steroid eye drops work well...sometimes even taping the lower eyelid upwards can be helpful too.  Resting the eyes as much as possible is helpful too, as the eye heals best in the "closed" position.  Use plenty of natural tears as well.  You have to be patients.  Your chemosis is mild from some that I have seen and I have seen it take as much as 4-6 weeks to resolve completely. 

Unfortunately if your surgeon is not also a board certified ophthalmologist who is fellowship trained in oculoplastic surgery then they lack the training, skill, experience, and even proper equipment to examine the chemosis.  Chemosis is a medical term that means swelling of the white of the eye.  Just as your eyelids are swollen, the conjunctiva is swollen.  Healing time will resolve this provided you are not having trouble closing the eye.  The best treatment is vigorous lubrication with ophthalmic drops and ointment rather than steroid or antibiotic drops.  If these simple measures don't work there are other options but at this point you should be managed by an oculoplastic surgeon or an ophthalmologist.  Please start with your surgeon and see what they recommend.  This will resolve but proper management helps it resolve sooner.

Chemosis after blepharoplasty, especially after transconjunctival approach is not uncommon. You should get steroid eyedrops from your surgeon. It will go away but can be stubborn.
