Poor blepharoplasty result from 2021. What are my options? (Photos)

RSProfile264587Jun 11, 2023
I had an upper blepharoplasty in December of 2021 by an oculoplastic surgeon, and am still experiencing complications. The result is uneven, but I am experiencing swelling on one eyelid that sometimes subsides throughout the day, but oftentimes persists. The surgeon told me that it’s no cause for concern and to reduce the amount of salt I consume (and I have), but I used to model for work and this has severely affected my ability to work consistently. Please help.

An upper and lower lid blepharoplasty can significantly rejuvenation your eyes. The upper removes excess skin and the lower, via a transconjunctival approach removes some skin and fat. A lateral brow lift would also be nice.

Hi there, I would reccomend another upper blepharoplasty. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon for consultation and an in-person eye examination to be sure you are a good candidate. Best of luck!
