Eye twitching after blepharoplasty. One eyes still has numbness. Any suggestions?

Question

This is a follow-up to my previous question. I forgot to mention that the eye having the twitching still has numbness along the lash line. The other eye has no twitching, and the numbness is almost completely gone. This was an upper blepharoplasty.

Numbness is normal for up to 6 months after the surgery so don't worry. Unrelated to the twitching as they are different nerves.

Thank you for the question. Your symptoms sound normal after blepharoplasty. You do not mention when the operation was performed. If you had surgery in the last 3 months, then do not worry. If beyond 3 months, then see your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Good luck.
