I had a lower eyelid surgery 5 weeks ago and my eyelids are still very pulled down and swollen. I am really worried. (photos)

I am sorry that you are having issues about your procedure and thanks for sharing your question. I can appreciate your concern.







You seem to have ectropion or pulling down of your eyelids. After 5 weeks it is unlikely that this is going to improve. It is difficult to determine the cause, without physical examination or photos prior to your surgeryFinally, make sure that your doctor is aware of your process. He should be able to guide you best in your care.



Wishing you the best in your journey

Thank you for your question and photograph.   Your healing is not normal after lower eyelid surgery.  You have ectropions, or eversion of the lower lid margins.   Keep your eyes lubricated and massage the lower lids.  I recommend seeking a surgeon who is experienced with ectropion repair.
