Should I still have bruising after 3 months, and why do I still have bags under my eyes, just lower than the original ones?I had Blepharoplasty to get rid of the bags, and the ones I have now are worse than the original. I still look tired.
Answer: Persistent Eyelid Bags after Eyelid Surgery Bruising at 3 months after eyelid surgery is highly unusual but not impossible. However, what appears to you as bruising may very well be a dark shadow as a result of hollowing from too much fat removal in certain areas. The persistent eyelid bags could be due to swelling from allergies, etc that could be a pre-existing problem. It could also be too to uneven fat removal or a fat pad that was missed or not fully removed during surgery. If your surgeon performed fat transposition, the persistent bags could also result if the fat was not repositioned properly. You may need to have revision surgery after a consultation to determine the cause.

Answer: I would ask another doctor in your area to take a look at you. It may be that you had festoons or edema under your eyes prior to surgery that are more noticeable now. It would important to bring a before picture with you to a consultation appointment. Usually by three months all the swelling and bruising is resolved.
