4 weeks post-op. How is my recovery of upper eye lids after blepharoplasty? (photos)

May 16, 2014
Asked By:Keffy123

It's just over 4 weeks since I had upper and lower blepharoplasty. I'd be keen to hear your opinions on my healing, especially my upper lids. They seem purply in colour and are bumpy above and below the scar line. I'm a little afraid I will never look natural. Should I expect the skin will all smooth out or will it always uneven? What is your opinion on my eye lids now and how you think they will change in time?
