Will Lower Blepharoplasty Make Edema Under Eyes Worse?

Lower blepharoplasty can be very helfull in removing bulging fat from your lower lid. Fluid that accumulates each morning however is fluid within you tissues. This fluid is not in a single descrete pocket that can be removed. Surgery will likely make the fluid bags worse during the healing phase but should return to the pre operative state with time.

Lower blepharoplasty and swelling are temporary and the bags should be gone after surgery. I would need to see photos to give you a proper answer to your question to see exactly where the swelling is.

If you are having a blepharoplasty done, it would be best if a transconjunctival approach is used.

Making a skin incision approach will possibly damage the lymphatic drainage channels as well as adversely affect the eyelid muscle. This might lead to worsening "festoons".

The blepharoplasty will not likely change the swelling aspect of your eyelid problem. If you have thin, crepey, redundant skin, I would recommend an Erbium laser skin resurfacing approach to tightening the skin, without actual skin excision.

Posting a photo really would be ideal to get a better recommendation.
