Visible incisions at this point are not uncommon. You should have a followup visit coming up soon. You should ask your eyelid surgeon if your healing is consistent with what they typically see. However, seeing the incisions at three weeks is not at all unusual. I hope this information is helpful.Stephen Weber MD, FACSDenver Facial Plastic Surgeon
Scars and healing from lower blepharoplasty need several months to ultimately heal. It is not unusual that you might still be able to see the incision lines 3 weeks after surgery. It is also not unusual to have some tightness and numbness to the area, but these issues should be improving over time and not getting worse. If you feel that the issues are not improving over time, you should contact your surgeon to be evaluated.
Viewing your photo, I do not see theincisions marks... though 3 weeks out it is possible to still see incisions butyou should be having a follow up with your Doctor to discuss the issue.
In posted photo I truly can not see the incisions. Maybe you had/have unrealistic expectations?? Best to see a second opinion consult in person...
Thank you for your question and I agree completely with what Dr. Kabaker has already said.Dr. Corbin
The word ptosis basically means drooping. Eyelid ptosis is the result of a weak or non functioning eyelid muscle. This is different than simply redundant eyelid skin which simple removal will correct. It is important to diagnose the right condition(s) to correct your problem.
Eyelud asymmetry is not at all unusual. In your case as in many I see, the cause is that one eyebrow is higher than the other. Eyebrow asymmetry is quite common and I would not recommend surgery to try to correct it. You may be a candidate for upper lud surgery, but it's hard to tell...
