Will Lower Blepharoplasty Make Edema Under Eyes Worse?

User Avatar

I have protruding fat bags under my eyes which needs lower bleph to correct. My question is, I have been getting fluid retention under my eyes for the last few years that happens about every morning. Some mornings are really bad and others or manageable, but over the course of the day do go down. After researching I think its edema of some kind and have tried natural diuretics and doesn't seem to help too much. Will lower blef complicate the issue and what can be done about the fluid retention?
