Hi I'm looking into getting Bleph done on my lower eyelids soon. As I am the sole carer for my child I'm trying to find out how long before I can resume driving. How long will bruising be visible and if this type of surgery will suit my particular (genetic) eyebags. Thanks.

The findings you describe sound most consistent with a condition completely separate from the surgery you hade, called "Graves' Eye Disease" or "Thyroid Eye Disease." I would consult an ophthalmologist or ophthalmic plastic surgeon to check into the possibility of this condition.
Ana Carolina Victoria, MD - Account Suspended says:
Chalazia/styes are fairly common. They can be reduced or removed with either surgery or an injection of steroid. I cannot tell from your pictures what the problem is. You can seek help from either an ophthalmologist or an oculoplastic surgeon.
Within a few hours after surgery it is normal to have a heavy sensation in the eyes. Ptosis can be a risks of upper eyelid surgery but this heavy feeling so close to the time of surgery has no indication this will be a problem for you. I would recommend contacting your surgeon to let them know ...
