This needs to be addressed by your own surgeon.  They can examine you and determine how you are healing.  Any answer you get from posting this question my not be the right one for you.  WIll message work?  That very much depend on what your issues.

Massage techniques after surgery are used to break up underlying scar, so as long as you are compressing the scar it should have the intended effect.  Check with your surgeon first, though, in case there are sutures that could be disrupted by aggressive massage.

Gentle upward and away massaging will help soften the scar formation. Majority of these problems will resolve with time. It may take several weeks but it will resolve. However, there are a few patients who have severe problem that need special attention and possibly surgical treatment. You will have to keep an strict follow up schedule with your surgeon and make sure no other treatments are necessary to protect your eye, such as taping, artificial tears etc. 

Of course ask your surgeon, but gentle massage can help speed the relaxation of the upward slant of the lower eyelid following Blepharoplasty or Eye lift surgery.

The slant is usually caused by sutures used by the surgeon to tighten the lower eyelid to prevent a downward pull or Ectropion which is a common complication of Blepharoplasty Surgery when an external incision is used.

In some cases, if you had a very lax lower eyelid, the surgeon would have done a Canthopexy or Canthoplasty to tighten the lower eyelid and prevent Ectropion-an unsightly and potentially dangerous complication of lower eyelid Blepharoplasty done through an external incision.

Ask your doctor if a Canthoplasty or Canthopexy was done-if so the slant will be more long lasting.
