Question

1 month after and I still see the droppy eye and my insection is still harder in one eye and still swollen both eyes. One day I am less swollen then others.

Thank you for your pictures. I would see your surgeon about that area on the left upper eyelid.  It is not unusual to have swelling one month after surgery

Scott W. Vann, MD, FACS · Answer

You really look unusually swollen for 4 weeks post op. I think you need to review with your surgeon your post op care and possibly review any topical medications that you might be having a reaction to. Discuss some possible massage to lessen the swelling.

Martin Jugenburg, MD · Answer

It would be helpful to see your before pictures, but assuming there was nothing unusual about your eyelids before your surgery, I think by now your eyelids should not look this swollen.  It is impossible to say why your swelling is persisting.  A possible reaction to your sutures?

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

Definately something not right! Best to seek second opinions. You may need revision surgery and removal of retention mid line cyst...Please call and I can see you...
