10 week post op upper and lower blepharoplasty. As you can see, one eye is bigger than the other still. Is this normal? (photo)

Asked By:Beebah in Sarasota, FL

Will this correct itself in time? Can i hasten it along somehow? Could this be caused by my possibly being allergic to the Botox I had between eyebrows during surgery? I have hyperthyroidism. Can that slow healing / or cause problems with healing. Skin on under eye from laser is better, but still red. What shall I put on it?
