I had laser blepharoplasty under my eyes five days agao. The bruising has gone but under one of my eyes I have bumps underneath the skin. The procedure was using a laser inserted underneath the eye (top of cheek) and then the fat melted and left to be absorbed by the body. Is this normal?
Answer: Laser Blepharoplasty
Nicola,
Thanks for your question. It is early in your recovery process so I would not be overly concerned with the bumps you are seeing underneath your skin but I would certainly recommend you return to your surgeon who performed the procedure so that the issue may be completely assessed. Laser blepharoplasty can involve several different techniques each with a unique recovery profile and your surgeon will know best if what you are seeing is normal or should be addressed.

Answer: Bumps After Eyelid Surgery
Nicola,
It is not unusual to have some bumpiness so soon after eyelid surgery. You need to wait at least a month to get an idea of what your final result will be.
Also, many patients think that the result of surgery performed with a laser will be significantly different than that of a laser performed with standard instruments. However, the use of laser should not affect your long term outcome.
