The right upper eyelid developed ptosis. The left eyelid has a larger deeper scar, which caused a droop I didn't have before. I also had fat transfers to the under eyelids only. Is there anthing that can be done outside of another surgery which could make it worse?

Answer: Ptosis post blepharoplasty You are still early in the healing phase and still have some inflammation and swelling. However if you low at 4 weeks, there is a good chance that the lids are not going to elevate significantly. You want to wait at least 6 months and then you can decide if you need to have a revision. If you still have ptosis at 6 months, you may want to have that corrected. It can often be done from the inside of the eyelid so that you won't need to have an external incision again. See an oculoplastic surgeon to evaluate the muscle function of the lids.

Answer: Upper Eyelids It's too early to determine due to being only 4 weeks post operative. Swelling can last for several months , so be patient and discuss this with your surgeon at that time if it hasn't changed.
