Eyelids won't close after Blepharoplasty! 2 Months post-op. (photos)

March 12, 2017
Asked By:Curanyi in Germany, DE

I had an upper Blepharoplasty 2 Months ago. I can make my eyelids gently shut but when i relax or when i sleep 2-4 mm of sclera and half of my eyeball shows . My Eyes look a little bit different and my Plastic Surgeon wanted to correct that he just wanted remove some fat but also removed skin. My eyes look so hollow now. I already massage and stretch the skin and put ointment at night for protection. Would a skin graft with a fat transfer help me if this doesn't go away ? King regards
