Asked By:dfgz in Minneapolis, MN

After 8 weeks post-op, I have a pronounced "pouch" under my left eye..omore unattractive than pre-op? Right eye looks better but also has pouchiness/loosenss. 10 days after surgery, stopped wearing sunglasses 10 days post-op and make-up soon after & only 1 incision scar left to fade. Pouchiness about same aswhen I saw my surgeon, 2 weeks post-op...he was confident that by now all would be faded...how can he tell if this is going to improve? How can I tell if this is swelling or permanent?
