I just had a lower blepharoplasty (2-weeks post op) and my surgeon told me that no skin has been removed but some muscles are removed. It's an external incision. I just recently found out that at a young age, this type of incision is not advisable. Would that cause lower eyelid retraction even if there's no skin removed? I could see that my eyes got bigger now. I am hoping that it is temporary. Would massage help it? I am really depressed the way I look after the surgery.
