Answer: Chemosis Thank you for sharing your case and photos. Your condition is normal after eyelid surgery. It is called chemosis and will resolve on its own. Make sure that your surgeon is aware of your condition. Sometimes, steroid pills or eye drops can help the swelling improve more quickly. Good luck!

Answer: Chemosis after eyelid surgery Dear Patient from California,The covering of the white part of the eye is known as the conjunctiva. It is usually flat against the white part of the eye. After surgery around the eyes, swelling can occur and fill the space between the white part of the eye (the sclera) and the clear conjunctiva. This is known as Chemosis and is common after surgery. It usually resolves on its own. Speak to your surgeon about their suggestions. Lubrication and sometimes topical steroid can help.I hope this was helpful.

Answer: Chemosis This is edema of the conjunctiva and is called chemosis. It can occur after lower lid surgery. It may be related to interruption of the lymphatic drainage. Lots of lubrication will help. I will sometimes add some steroid drops to decrease any inflammation. It will resolve.
