I am 31 days post-op from upper and lower blepharoplasty. There was no fat removed, just skin. I believe he did something with my muscle, but i'm not quite sure what. I have a dissolvable stitch on my right eye that you can see in the picture that hasn't gone away yet, and still quite a large bag under my left eye. As you can also see, my left eye is still larger than the right. Is it normal to still have this?

Answer: See surgeon about suture Maximum swelling is usually at about 3-5 days and goes away over a few months. You should sleep with your head elevated and cut back on salt to help the swelling. Please see your surgery regarding the suture, which should be removed if it hasn't been absorbed at this point.

Answer: Nothing too out of norm after Blepharoplasty here As you are relatively short post operatively, many of the concerns you have written about will continue to improve. Lower eyelid surgery continues to be among the most challenging aesthetic procedures we do and the time for the results to mature also take proportionately longer to achieve the final result. The lower eyelid is quite dynamic and the constant motion of the lid gives rise to some of the appearances you are noticing. I agree with lower lid stretches and tincture of time.
