Hello, I had upper and lower eyelid surgery 5 1/2 months ago and I now have deep creases from the corners of my eyes that I did not have before surgery. Also, I have a dark hollow in the outer corner of my left eye as well as a dark spot on the top of my left cheek. I have included photos of before and after. Also, is the feeling of tightness that I sometimes feel around my eyes normal after this long? I am 58. Thank you.
