Not Able to Ice Lower Eyelids Sufficiently After Surgery and Now Seem to Have Festoons

You will have a certain amout of swelling after blepheroplasty. The edema often will head south before it resolved. Be patient you will be fine if you didn't have them pre-op

I am not certain what procedure you had and how long ago you had it. It is not uncommon to have lower eyelid swelling and bruising for upto a week after a lower lid blepheraplasty. It is important to have any hypertension well controlled to minimize post-operative edema. This is not a "festoon" which is frequently a term used to refer to excess or redundant Orbicularis Occuli muscle in the lower lid. This appears as overlapping curved layers or rings of tissue under the eye and managed by excision of excess muscle and suspension. If you are not yet a week out, just be patient. If it persists, you may need to talk to your doctor about treatment with a short course of steriodal or non-steroidal anti-inflammatories. In rare cases, such an appearance may be due to persistent herniation of peri-orbital fat which may need to be resected. Most likely, your case will gradually improve over 7-10 days post-operatively without any intervention. It is best to have your doctor evaluate you within the first week to make a decision on how to expedite your recovery.
