I think I have permanent swelling after double eyelid surgery a year ago, will it ever go away? (Photo)

Hi I had a double eyelid surgery together with a ptosis surgery (recommended by the surgeon) in Thailand a year ago. The problem is my eyelids are still very swollen and they're numb to the touch. What can I do at this point? Thank you for your time!

Crows feet are not affected by blepharoplasty. They are caused by muscle movement, so they are treated with Botox injection. Extra skin and fat is removed with blepharoplasty, making the lids themselves look better. Be sure to see a facial specialist for consultation.

You had a fairly distinct upper eyelid crease prior to surgery, though a bit low and with some asymmetry. Post-surgery it appears that your eyelid skin has lost its connection with the underlying muscle, therefore giving you the appearance of multiple creases. As you correctly identified, the...
