I still have swelling under one eye and numbness around both which makes it difficult to apply eyeliner. Is this normal? Can my age be a factor, (75)?

Answer: Swelling and numbness It is normal to have swelling a couple months after blepharoplasty. The swelling will gradually decrease and become less frequent over the next month or two. Numbness can still be present but should get better also in the ensuing months.

Answer: 8 weeks post-op blepharoplasty At 8 weeks some people will still have some swelling in the lower eyelids, especially if they had a fair amount of bruising or edema post-op. The numbness will slowly resolve - just need more time. This is quite variable.

Answer: Swelling 8 weeks post-op eyelid surgery may be normal. Photos of your eyes would be helpful in order to give you a better opinion. However, swelling 8 weeks after a blepharoplasty can be normal healing for you. The swelling however should not also be excessively red or have any drainage associated with it. The vast majority of healing occurs within 12 weeks of the eyelid surgery. The numbness will improve with time and can also take months to resolve completely. See your surgeon for reassurance.
