Do I need corrective blepharoplasty after double eyelid surgery? (Photos)

March 9, 2019
Asked By:chal478 in Ohio, OH

I got double eyelid surgery about 3 months ago. The scarring is still present and there’s some thick scar tissue where the incision was made near the medial corners of my lids. The surgeon didn’t do the best job. I was wondering if my double lids will ever heal properly or if I’ll need corrective surgery. What do you think is the best option to fix this?

Is it normal to still be this swollen 6 weeks post op double eyelid surgery? It was a revision (Photo)
Goretti Ho Taghva, MD, FACS says:

It's a bit more swollen than usual at 6 weeks post-op.  However, it is not unusual for the swelling to be prolonged after a revision eyelid surgery.  You can try warm compress, bromelain supplement, head elevation and decrease sodium intake and see if that'd speed up the healing.  In my pra...
