I had the upper blepharoplasty surgery 1 week ago. When I close my eyes or am sleeping, my eyes, especially the left side is not closing all the way! Will it eventually close all the way? They are also watering a lot while I am asleep.

Answer: Eyelid healing One week is very early to tell about the final outcome. Let your surgeon know of you issues especially your sleeping problem. They may have you use an ointment or eye patch to protect your eyes till the lids are working better. Once you are allowed to massage your lids you should see some improvement. Follow up closely with your surgeon until healing complete. Good luck.

Answer: Eyelid surgery improvement Eyelids are delicate structures and very small forces from skin removal and/or swelling can impact their function. I suspect that you will see an improvement or complete resolution of the issues with time since it is only one week after your surgery. Discuss this with your plastic surgeon as he/she may recommend massage to help the process.All the best,Dr. Remus Repta
