Post op day 5. Eyes are crusty and look so much smaller (Photo)

I don't see any cause for alarm in the photos.  However, if you are concerned, please call your Surgeon and discuss these issues.  Remember that you trusted him/her to perform your surgery and part of surgical care is addressing postoperative concerns.  Swelling and a subsequent raising of the eyelid crease are your body's reaction to the controlled injury you have experienced.

You look much better than most people for 5 days!!  Minimal swelling and no bruising.  You should do great.  

For any concerns with your surgery and healing process, you should touch base with your surgeon.  I want my patients to touch base with me with any concerns.  You are not going this alone- your surgeon wants to make sure you have the best result possible and be at ease at all times.  Looking at your pictures, it appears consistent with the healing process.  I tell my patients that the third day after surgery is generally the worst, and the swelling will eventually subside.  It may take several weeks for swelling to gradually diminish, but everyone heals a little differently.  By 6 weeks, most of the swelling is generally gone, but it can take longer for the rest to go away.  

You look fantastic for 5 days after surgery!  Your stitches will come out soon and with time the swelling will continue to resolve.  Keep following your surgeon's instructions.  Good luck!

Hi.  If you are only postop day 5 then you are ahead of the curve already.  Your eyes look less swollen and bruised than most and I suspect your result will be just fine.  I would not be concerned at all.  Regards

From your photos I can see no hint of a problem. The swelling is to be expected and your result looks good. If you have questions you should consult with your surgeon and he or she best knows the details of your case.

Thank you for your question and photos.  Not to worry... You look like you are healing normally.  Swelling, crustiness and minimal eye irritation is quite normal at this stage.  Things should continue to get better over the next few weeks.  Best wishes on your recovery!

I am always amazed when patients are a few days post op and they wonder about bruising and swelling.The best thing to do is sit tight and be patient.Your photos look fine.

At five days postop, your eyelids are healing still. Continue to follow your surgeon's postop instructions. If the issues persist, discuss with your surgeon.

At five days post eye surgery, your eyes look like they are healing very well. Be patient with the results. Good luck.
