The top of it is bulged out and is not adhered to the other side of the lid. Also a small opening at the outside end of incision. I am concerned that it is going to stay open leaving a pouch. The left eye is practically healed.

Answer: Blepahoplasty Incision There does seem to be some separation of the wound. At this point there really isnt anything to do except let the incision heal. I would keep in touch with your surgeon and let him or her know what is going on. The lids generally heal very well. So this should not be an issue when you are all healed.

Answer: Blepharoplasty incision open Hi Rowley, thank you for your question. Your incision seems to have opened which of course is not ideal. The good news is that the eyelids generally heal very well. There is nothing to do in the acute setting other than keep in contact with your surgeon, stop pulling on the eyelid (tension is the enemy to good wound healing), and keep the wound moist with ointment until the incision reepithelializes. If the scar is unacceptable, it can typically be revised between 6 months and a year later.
