Im over 3 weeks post double blepharoplasty with fat graft. One eye healed great, the other bruised and swelled significantly. The bruising is subsiding, and as the swelling went down I noticed the eye drooped to the pink part of my eye showing. I am performing massage and have it taped with medical adhesive 24/7 but there is little to no improvement.
