My eyes are quite mismatched now. One eye seems to bulge and appeaar larger than the other eye. The lower skin on one eye appears to sit higher and bulges and does not sit smoothly. There are no tumours or swelling according to a CT scan, but the issues persist. Both eyes are very tight but not all the time. I get relief from cold packs. On occassions both eyes seem normal but one eye continues to be bothersome. Eyes change daily sometime hourly

Unfortunately some patients end up with wide and more noticeable scar after blepharoplasty. Scar revision including removal of lateral skin fold would be a simple option. You should discuss options for correction with your surgeon. Good luck.
