Red, Dry Eyes After Blepharoplasty and CO2 Laser

December 22, 2008
Asked By:suzyque in Florida

I had a transconjunctival Blepharoplasty on lower lids combined with CO2 laser 15 days ago. Both lower eyelids appear to be standing away and downward from the eyeballs, and there is a dry, uncomfortable sensation. In addition, my eyes are consistently red. Is this an example of retraction, or is it too early to tell?
