Six and a half months after my lower blepharoplasty, I still have small swollen pockets of fluid/bruising that are obvious. They are about the size of a quarter. Surgery was February 28, today is September 17. What can be done to make them go away? I posted this question before and several doctors mentioned they would like to see a picture, so I've included them in this post. I do have a follow-up with my surgeon on Wednesday.

Answer: Lower eyelid swelling Thank you for the question. Although difficult to tell by picture alone, you may have malar edema. Although there is no quick means of resolving this, it happens and limiting your salt intake and some lasers can speed up the process. Discuss with your surgeon to get their ideas.

Answer: Pockets after eyelid surgery Thanks for your question. I agree with the other comment that you need to make sure and follow up with your surgeon about this. Without actually performing the procedure, knowing what your photos looked like beforehand, and knowing what type of procedure was done etc, it's very difficult for us to offer any advice. There are a variety of interventions that can be offered to treat your concern, but knowing WHEN and WHICH ONE should be entrusted to your board certified surgeon. Warm regards.
