I had upper and lower eyes done 12 weeks ago. Im happy with results except for how the inner corners sags down into my eyes. Is this something that can be fixed by my doctor. Before and after pics shown. Am I being too picky?

Answer: Post op upper eyelid surgery There are a few things that I notice here. You have ptosis which was not corrected at the time of surgery, so your eyelids are in a low position. If you don't mind this then I would leave that alone. You have very little fat in the upper lids, so you have a deep sulcus. You also do not have a good eyelid crease, so you have some bunching skin here. A revision could be done to try to make a more definitive crease, and possibly trim a little skin. You might also consider some filler to the deep sulcus to help give some support to the lid and make it look less hollow.

Answer: Saggy skin after blepharoplasty At three months after surgery, any swelling from surgery should be gone. The excess skin in the nasal end of the eyelids does seem to be more than is desirable. Since your eyeball is nice and open, meaning that it is more prominent than someone who has deeper set eyes, the truth is that it takes more skin to close your eye, especially when you are asleep than someone with deeper set eyes. Having a little more skin may be necessary to keep you from having dry eyes. Now that the swelling is down, discuss with your surgeon whether a pinch of skin can be removed safely to maximize your cosmetic result without compromise of the functional task of preventing dry eye syndrome.John Standefer MD
