Face swollen from TCA peel. Is this normal? (photo)

Question

My face is pathetically swollen from a TCA peel.My eyes are almost closed shut. Is this normal?

Peter J. Capizzi, MD · Answer

Yes, it is normal for TCA to cause swelling?  However, the severity is individualized based on the percentage of TCA used. If there is significant swelling to the face please contact your physician.

Stephen Prendiville, MD · Answer

There isn't enough information to elaborate over the internet, although swelling is very common after a TCA peel.  I recommend that you return to see your Physician

Darryl J. Blinski, MD · Answer

YES but why not call or go see the peeling doctor first than asking this over the internet? That doc is responsible for your care...
