I had lower blepharoplasty 8 weeks ago. I also had excess skin removed. I know I still have swelling but it seems to settle and form these bags. I never had this before surgery. In the morning when I wake up my eyes look great, skin is smooth, but as the day wears on gravity seems to take over and I get these bags. Some days are better than others. Today is a bad day. They are very prominent. I don't see my PS for another month but I am starting to worry that I may have made a mistake!
