Is it normal to have red eyes in the outer corners five weeks post Canthoplasty? (Photo)

Thank you for your question and images. It is not unusual to still have redness and swelling. I see from your images that you still have some conjunctival swelling both on the inner and outer parts of the eyes. It can take weeks and months for eyelids to settle after surgery, particularly after canthoplasty. It is important to keep your eyes moist and protected with regular and frequent lubrication. Continue to followup closely with your surgeon and remain patient. There is nothing to do at present and small tweaks and changes can always be made in the future. RegardsDr Guy Watts

You are still healing and should give it 3 months for full healing. Communicate with your surgeon any concerns. There are nonsurgical measures that can be done now such as massaging. If the problem persists after healing, then revision eyelid surgery can be considered.

Thank you for sharing your experience.  It appears that you have chemosis - swelling of the conjunctiva - which is completely normal at this point after canthoplasty.  Make sure that your surgeon is aware of your condition and consider a consultation with a board certified oculoplastic surgeon to check the health of your eyes.  Good luck!
