Hello, I had a lower facelift and a reduction of fat in my lower eyelids over seven months ago. My left eye is still very swollen and it seems that the numbness on the left side going from my left eye to my left temple is still prevalent. Above the cheekbone on the left side, it appears to be a little swollen still but I’m unsure. My left eye, however, is still swollen, Puffy, and very unsightly. Any ideas what could be going on and if this can be corrected? I would appreciate any help!
