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?

There's no such thing as ideal or perfect.  The right height of and eyelid crease is the best height for you and the look your achieving.  If you're Asian 10 mm may be waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off anyhow.  I don't used cook books in surgery.   Best of luck   Dr. Lay
