Is this ectropion after lower blepharoplasty or swelling? (photos)

Asked By:rdef in New Egypt, NJ

Hi, I had blepharoplasty two days ago and was panicked by the appearance of my right eye. It has retracted quite a bit and after some research I believe I have ectropian eyelid. Is this normal 2 days post op and might just be the swelling ? or is it more likely to require further surgical attention? Pre-op my right eye was more lax and was showing some white of the eye making me have an unsymmetrical look. I believe right eye required more work surgically and thus encountered more swelling
