It has been 6 weeks since my upper and lower blepharoplasty. My doctor has not scheduled another follow up appt. until July 13th. He told me to continue taping my eyelid sideways and to the upper left all day every day, but the tape is burning the fragile skin of my lower eyelid and upper cheek, so I've stopped taping it recently. Do you think my eyelid will heal on its own, without taping it anymore? I still push up on the lower eyelid for a count of 10, three times per day as instructed.

It is best to let the eyelid heal for about 3 months and then re-evaluate. You may end up needing revision eyelid ptosis surgery, which is best done using a different technique. See following link.
