I had a blepharoplasty two years ago. While I'm still happy I went through with it, there is some textured skin above my eyes and the area isn't as defined as it originally was. When I consulted my surgeon about a revision, he advised against it saying that it was chronic collection of lymph fluid in that area. (I had asked if my tear glands protruding were the issue.) He wasn't sure how to handle this problem. Would laser resurfacing be a way to address the lymphedema here?
