Why does my left eye have a bulge underneath it after lower blepharoplasty? (Photo)

HeatherW1983Jul 21, 2022
Initial surgery done 1 year ago. Revision done six months after initial surgery. First surgery incisions within the eyelid. Second surgery to fill in the outer lower corners and pinch the skin to reduce wrinkles. Incisions done on the outside of eyelid.

Please provide guidance on what occurred as well as a plan going forward.

From your photos and description of your concerns, the most commonly used treatment is HA fillers. Be sure that you are visiting with an experienced injector for your treatment in order to have the best results. I would not recommend surgery for you without first exploring nonsurgical options.
