Fat grafting upper eyelid, 1 week post op, will I recover? (photo)

December 26, 2017
Asked By:Xt0822 in Singapore, SG

I just recently did a fat grafting to my upper eyelid . It’s almost a week now and it’s not recovering and it’s starting to became red and very swollen this two days ago.. I went and see my doctor, she gave me an antibiotic injection and took out some of the blood from my eyelid because it’s been hard for me to open my eyes.. is this normal? Will I ever recover? I’m really worried because it seems like it’s not going down. What is happening? What should I do?
