Did the surgeon sew the incision too tight? (photos)

Whatever it is, it is most assuredly not normal.  Time will help with the swelling.  The issue might just go away but I doubt it.  I think that time will make it more clear that something is not right here.  It looks like the lower eyelid might have been tighten with a lateral cathoplasty.  The corner of the upper eyelid and the corner of the lower eyelid should come together at the same spot.  That is not exactly happening.  Please follow your surgeons directions and consider reposting once you are about 2 months out from surgery and updating us about how you are doing.

Thank you for sharing your concerns and photo. Fortunately, you are in the very early stages of the healing process. Your skin will smooth out and everything will look better in a few months. Make sure to go to your follow up appointments with your surgeon.Good luck,

Hi. At 10 days post op you still have some swelling. It is obscuring what the final result will likely be. Things may loosen up as well. While it does look like the upper eyelid corner slightly overrides the lower, it is difficult to tell if this is due to swelling from your photo. Give it some time and contact your surgeon about your concerns. Best regards, Ira Vidor, M.D.
