Eyes still puffy 90 days after face lift: I am very concerned with the eye bags that I now have. (Photos)

Asked By:FLMom2018 in Pompano Beach, FL

I had a full face lift, neck lift and upper and lower blepharoplasty 90 days ago. A lot of the swelling has gone away, I am starting to have feeling back on the sides of the face (although the edges and top of my head are still very numb). I am very concerned with the eye bags that I now have. These were not there before, but now, they get worse as the day goes by. Is this due to swelling still? Or do I now have festoon or malar bags?
