I had an upper and lower Blepharoplasty on Jan 15, 2009, performed with a CO2 Laser and the area below my eyes is still extremely red. Is this normal?
Answer: Redness after Blepharoplasty usually always resolves We have used laser skin rejuvenation with Blepharoplasty for over 15 years and almost always the redness goes away. Now with our fractional lasers it goes away in 7-10 days so this is a big advance over old laser techniques. Be patient and ask your doctor about the use of steroid creams, sun protection, and anything else you should be doing to recover from this temporary problem.

Answer: Redness after laser resurfacing is expected Redness after laser resurfacing is expected. It will subside with time, but it may last awhile. It is okay to cover it with makeup the best you can. When it heals, you should have nice smooth skin.

Answer: Eye Redness Post Laser and Blepharoplasty Hi! Thank you so much for bringing your question up! Procedures like CO2 laser and blepharoplasty all have after effects that patients may or may not experience. If you experience them though, they are not entirely uncommon. One of these surgery after effects include redness. As far as I am concerned, this is one of the things that I notify my patients prior surgery so they would know what to expect. Redness can improve on their own, however, the speed is not like the usual redness that would go away after a few minutes or hours. Redness from surgery procedures and lasers may take a while to subside. Some may take 3 months but others may take up to 6 months to completely heal. If the redness still bothers you or stays longer than indicated, you can consult your board certified plastic surgeon for evaluation. He or she can help in determining how long the redness may still take to fade away. Hope you find this helpful!
