Asked By:zpherr in New York, NY

I had lower bleph on 6 Feb 2016. The recovery was ok in the beginning. However, after switching to hot compress on day 7 as instructed by my PS, my eyelids just get worse. My PS said it was the healing of blood vessel and is normal. But i wonder if it was the hot compress that triggered sth bad on me. I m concerned if i have any complications and if my case (such a regression) is really normal. Should i now switch back to cold compress to reduce the swelling? Any other things i should do now?
