I had upper Blepharoplasty 5 weeks ago. Aside from having some "extra" muscle and skin removed, one aspect of the procedure was that I had fat removed from the inner corners of my eyes. Now, there is a loose little "pouch" of skin in the area. Will this go away? I am 44 years old with good skin elasticity. My bruising remained for approximately 3 weeks. The rest of the healing process is wonderful, natural and exactly what I hoped for. Thank you for your response.
