I had blepharoplasty 20 days ago and I am concerned that my eyes sit too deep in the inner corner and eyelid width is uneven. I am posting before and after photos for comparison. I think overall my eyelids are supposed to be the equal width, but they start too wide from the inner corner and then become narrow. Please, advise if I may need a revision. Thank you.

Answer: Upper blepharoplasty gone wrong? You are only 20 days out and the differences in wound healing, and eyelid asymmetry will even out over time, and probably not need revision, but you need to wait several months to make a final judgement with your surgeon. You have had significant removal of upper eyelid fat, and it has changed the appearance of your eyes perhaps more than you wanted. The lateral hooding is often best addressed with a temporal brow lift, with or without a conservative upper blepharoplasty and fat removal. If you are still unhappy with the changes in your eyelids, I have on occasion done fat grafting to the upper eyelids to restore some of the fat that was removed. At this point you are still early in the healing process, and you need to wait and see.

Answer: Has my upper eyelid blepharoplasty gone wrong? Hello mmayka1,You are only 20 days out so there is still healing to take place. However, your before picture shows a little excess skin based towards the outside as opposed to inside corners of the eye. The after photo shows more hollowing of the inside corner. With the removal of so much fat the eyes will have this hollow appearance. I would discuss your concerns with your surgeon. Depending on your goals a procedure that adds volume such as filler or fat transfer may be helpful to create a more youthful and less hollow appearance. I hope this helps and good luck.
