I had my bleph 3 weeks ago. my doctor said he lifted both brows slightly as well. I still have significant eyelid droop even after surgery. Is this normal? I was expecting to have a more youthful appearance. I have attached my after picture.
Answer: Excess skin following blepharoplasty Three weeks is a little early to judge the final result of any procedure. There is likely still a bit of edema of the lid that will resolve in time. It is most certainly a better idea to exercise caution in the amount of skin removed from the upper lids during blepharoplasty as removing too much skin leads to significant complications. I would have your surgeon reassess the result in a couple of more months.

Answer: Recovery after blepharoplasty. Expect at least 3 weeks of swelling Great question and thanks for the photos. You look great for only three weeks from blepharoplasty surgery. The "sagging" you refer to is likely just swelling which can be persistent or come and go, as well it can be more on one side vs the other. You seem to have an appropriate amount swelling and you just need to be patient! be careful with high salt foods which may make you more puffy. Protect your eyes, keep them lubricated and follow-up with your surgeon.

Answer: Your eyelids look good 3 weeks after upper blepharoplasty. I certainly see a bit of swelling in your upper eyelids that will continue to resolve. From an aesthetic standpoint, I think you have a nice result. I don't see significant lid droopiness (ptosis), and your brows appear youthful. Also you don't appear "operated".
