I have twitching in one eyelid that started six weeks after blepharoplasty and has continued for two weeks. Is this something to be worried about?
Answer: Twitching lid after blepharoplasty If the lid is actually twitching and you can see it in the mirror, it is blepharospasm. We don't know why this occurs, but can happen to people from time to time and usually lasts a few weeks. It is unrelated to the surgery. Blepharoplasty does not cause blepharospasm. If it lasts for more than a few weeks some Botox can be injected to decrease the twitch.

Answer: Twitching Thank you for the question. Twitching of the eyelid is not unusual and it occurs at random times for many people. The surgery did not trigger it. Fortunately, it usually resolves without treatment. If the twitching persists beyond a few weeks, see an oculoplastic surgeon for a full evaluation. Good luck,

Answer: Eyelid twitching after surgery Eyelid twitching or blepharospasm can be due to a variety of causes including surgery. Fatigue and caffeine also can cause this. Usually with time this will settle down on its own. Massage will probably help. It can be treated with Botox for injection of steroids but course of treatment would be to give it time to resolve on its own.

Answer: Twitching is normal after blepharoplasty Dear Villager, It is completely normal to have twitching in your eyelids after blepharoplasty. Any kind of irritation can make the lids twitch and this should go away. Furthermore, as the nerves are regenerating (which is what is happening at 6 weeks post op) you can feel twitching from that. Furthermore people who've never had surgery can twitch from dryness, allergies, increased caffeine or stress, and lack of sleep. I'm sure this will get better with time. Good lukc
