I had a quad bleph and lower fat grafting about 2 months ago. One eye has a bit of sclera showing, not too bad, but noticeable to me. Can it get better after any residual swelling goes away?

Answer: Increased scleral show or dry eye after lower blepharoplasty Hopefully your issue will get better with time. If it doesn't, you may want to consider having a cheek lift and canthal repositioning. Make sure to stay in close contact with your surgeon during the healing period and let him or her know about your issues.There are several conservative things that can be done before revisional surgery is contemplated.If it comes time for a revision, make sure to choose a surgeon with a dedicated interest in the mid face and cheek lifts.

Answer: You are still early from all this surgery. So you will heal more and things will improve. So the answer without examining you or seeing a photo is that yes, things generally do get better. However, that does not mean it will resolve to your satisfaction. If you are having dry eye symptoms, these benefit from treatment by a general ophthalmologist. If your eye is comfortable but you do not like the appearance of the eyelid, it is reasonable to let things heal for another 6 months before deciding what to do next.
