Can crying ruin my lower lid blepharoplasty and cause permanent damage?

Asked By:Sky34 in Nova Scotia, NS

I had transconjuncival lower blepharoplasty with fat repositioning and fat grafts. I'm in my 3rd week of recovery, unfortunately am going through lots of emotions due to a break up. Although I tried hard to not cry, I couldn't help it. I cried a lot. I noticed the skin of my lower lid is crepey since a couple days. I don't know if the the swelling that went down or I ruined it from crying? There is puffiness under my eyes as well. Could crying so early on after surgery cause permanent damage?
