Blood in eye after lower blepharoplasty. Any suggestions? (photos)

Asked By:reece2076 in China, TX

I recently had surgery to have the bags removed from below my eyes. I think the procedure is blepharoplasty. The doctor made an incision just below my eyes and sucked the fat out. Everything seemed fine until abut 1 or 2 days after surgery when blood appeared in my right eye as you can see in the photo. The doctor told me that this doesn't happen to everyone but it is normal and should go away within a month. I would like to get other opinions to confirm this. It has only been 5 days so far.
