My nose has been bleeding ever since I had upper and lower eyelid surgery 4 weeks ago. Is this normal? (Photo)

Genghis2014Jul 8, 2014
I had upper and lower eyelid surgery four weeks ago. It has been bleeding through post nasal dripping since day one. The amount is not significant but the small blood clots will come through my nose to the mouth when I try to empty my nose. Is this normal? In addition, I have bruises under my eyes and these areas are still very tender and puffy. I think the keloid has formed at the corners of my eyes. I am concerned.

It looks like your lower eyelid margin laterally is a little low giving your eyes the appearance of having  round rather than almond eyes. A canthopexy would significantly give you an almond shaped eye.

Revision upper blepharoplasty is what you need since your brow position looks good. Of course an exam would be best. Choose an experienced surgeon who does good natural work and not because he has membership in a certain group.

The eyes are fixed within the orbits, so you really can't change the distance between them.  However, if there is wide tissue between the eyes and the nose you can address this surgically.  Any eyelid or orbital surgery carries risk for blindness, but the probability is very low.

After any procedure, a photo is truly worth a 1000 words.  Talk to your surgeon about your concerns and see what options are presented to you and at what costs.  Hopefully a reasonable revision policy is in effect but it sounds like you will need one.  If your brows are really...
