I also have visible scarring on the outer corner of one eye, Can all these resolve on their own. Should I be worried at this point

Answer: You are extremely early from surgery.
A lot will change are you heal. Complications after lower blepharoplasty are very common. They often don't fully resolve as you heal. Taping and massage can help to a degree. Don't get talked into a revisional procedure by your surgeon unless you fully understand what is being proposed. Generally these situations are much more complicated than the original surgeon comprehends. Well meaning efforts to "tuck" the eyelid or "put a stitch in" can actually make the situation worse. Time is very helpful. Consider reposting with your photographs.

Answer: Problems after lower eyelid pinch 2 weeks ago.
At 2 weeks after your lower eyelid pinch procedure, there would still be some expected healing to take place. As the healing occurs, changes to your eyelids can still happen. It can take several months for the healing to be completed. I would not be worried at this point, but it is important for your surgeon to follow your progress to make sure there is improvement.
