If Too Much Fat Was Removed During a Blepharoplasty, Will It Get Better over Time or Worse? I'm Two Years Post Op.

June 23, 2012
Asked By:jean1962 in Mission, KS

At about 1.5 years post eye surgery my eyes just looked startling. Not like my eyes at all, very hollow, bony and old. So, I guess up until that time, I had just enough swelling that my eyes looked pretty good. Now they look horrible. It seems whenever I work out and sweat a lot, the worse they look. So, I'm thinking if I lose weight or as time goes on, the loss of too much fat around my eyes is only going to get worse. Am I correct?
