Should I be worried about crying after eyelid surgery?

SophieHJul 25, 2012

Some personal issues happened in my life and am now at 6 weeks post eyelid surgery op. I had extreme crying (though I tried hard not to) for a few days and my eyelids were swollen. That was a week ago, and now I have noticed a significant change in the crease (like as if some skin below the crease has overstretched due to the swollenness). A wrinkly bit of skin below the crease seem to be there eventhough my crying has stopped for a few days now. Do I need to see a doc? Should I be worried?

Hi 1554anon,   You stated the reason why mid-facelifts and lower eyelid surgery are often performed together, because of the potential for the lower eyelid skin bunching and causing more wrinkles under the eyes than prior to the mid-facelift.     Just because they...

This is honestly ridiculously high even for caucasians.  Amateur eyelid surgeons dutifully read these surgical descriptions (or the professors who taught them) and do precisely what is described in the text book and then pretend that the overdone effect of surgery is what you are supposed...

A photo is necessary. Droopy eyelid surgery is loosely applied to either mean ptosis surgery (muscle tightening to lift the eyelid) or upper blepharoplasty (skin removal), or both.  It is possible you had one and not the other.  It is also possible that brow droopiness can give an...

Incisions after any surgery can be sensitive, dry, itchy and irritated. Eyelid skin, while it heals quickly, can also be susceptible to reactions to medications and other creams. I tell my blepharoplasty patients, if they have been healing as expected, that at 2-3 weeks after surgery they...

Removing fat will not move your eye closer to the nose. It will rather just make your eyes appear more sunken or hollow. Your problem is really not a problem at all, but rather a variation of the normal. This is a feature that you need to accept as unique and special to you.
