Eyes opens during rest after blepharoplasty, too much skin removed? (photos)

Asked By:jansenhelen in Europe

I had upper Blepharoplasty and lower transconjunctival 4 weeks ago. My left eye is very traumatized, and when I’m blinking it’s slower than the right side. Both eyes don’t close completely, but the left eye has the biggest gap. It’s very tight around the eyes. When I’m sleeping, or when I fall into sleep both eye pops open. My surgeon is not helpful. I really don’t like how my eyes have change, and how high the scar is. But most of all I want my eyes to close during sleep. Opinions appreciated!
