Concerned about ptosis after upper and lower blepharoplasty - Advice? (photo)

Thank you for your question and photos. You are very early in the recovery process. It takes a few weeks of healing before the results start to settle out. I recommend that you stay in close contact with your surgeon and make sure that you understand what to expect during the recovery process. They will be able to help you through and to achieve the best possible result. Good luck!

Thank you for your question. Firstly, you are only little more than a week post op. You are healing appropriately, but you still have a normal amount of post operative swelling and bruising. In the upper lids this can give the impression of ptosis. Your pre op photos do show a small amount of ptosis. Your post op photos show the lid position improving as time goes by as would be expected. I always tell my patients that they can expect about 50% of the swelling and bruising to resolve at two weeks, 90% resolution at month and several months for the remaining 10% to resolve. If you still think your lids are ptotic at month post op your surgeon can re-evaluate you. In my own practice I would observe a patient such as yourself for at least  three month post op if not longer to allow the edema to completely resolve before making any decisions.
