Eyelids too big 1 month after upper blepharoplasty - what can be done? (photos)

May 8, 2018
Asked By:An_Es1234 in Chicago, IL

Unhappy about swollen areas under my eyes I went to a surgeon who said inflammations caused this problem and put steroid injections. Shortly after I developped atrophy, dents and decoloration. Another surgeon proposed fat grafting and under + upper blepharoplasty. 1 month after surgery I am not pleased with my big upper eyelids, making me look older and even more tired than before. Please tell me what changes I still can expect; will my upper eyelids still become smaller over time?
