Ptosis repair surgery result and swelling after 12 months (Photo)

June 6, 2024
Asked By:johnnybravo123321 in England, United Kingdom

Male, 30, 80kg. Caucasian I had blepharoplasty on both upper eyelids and ptosis repair on the right. The ptosis repair surgery took place in June 2023 and there is still swelling, causing considerable asymmetry and ptosis. In a recent follow up, I was advised that this could be caused by blepharitis and have been told to apply a moist heat mask and wipes 2x a day for the next 6 weeks. I do not feel any inflammation or have any crusts, but can feel the eyelid when i shut my eye. Any thoughts?
