Asked By:trayct in Chicago, IL

I am one month out after having lower trans bleph w/skin pinch and as you can see I have asymmetrical lower eyelids. This was noticeable right after surgery but was told it will go back to normal after swelling goes down. I'm losing sleep over this because its not getting better. Will I need revision surgery to correct this? I also still have swelling in the eyelids and drooping.dr. doesn't know why. Also what is the best cream to use on the incision lines as mine are very thick and noticeable.
