Looks like I took an eyeliner pencil and drew a line at the outside corners. Did NOT have this before surgery. What happened and can it be fixed. My PS was no help on this.

Answer: Yes normal just not necessarily desirable. It is normal for tissues to settle and heal in less than perfect ways after any surgery. This does not mean your surgeon did something wrong. This is not a complication. It is a normal part of having virtually any cosmetic surgery. There is almost nothing in life that can't be further improved. Eyelid surgery is no exception. Generally we cover these types of possibilities in the surgical consent by saying something to the effect that more surgery may be needed in the future. Just recognize that some refinements that may be very beneficial to further improving your results may be out of the ability of your original surgeon to achieve. It your original surgeon is of "no help on this," they may be telling you that they do not think they can achieve the refinement you are looking for. Don't make your surgeon do something that they are not comfortable with. Generally it is appropriate to consider refinements to the original surgery after 6 to 12 months of healing. We could provide a more specific answer if you post a photograph.

Answer: Sagging skin on outer corners of eyes 5 months after upper blepharoplasty Pictures would really be helpful to give you advice in regards to the sagging skin you see on the outer corners of your eyes 5 months after upper blepharoplasty. I would not say that this is normal, but without seeing you or pictures of you, it is difficult to comment.
