Is it normal to still be this swollen 6 weeks post op double eyelid surgery? It was a revision (Photo)

February 24, 2019
Asked By:akok73 in Seattle, WA

The swelling in my eyes just don’t seem to be getting better. I had my eyes done before and it wasn’t this swollen at six weeks. Is it because it was a revision? I am stressed out and feeling extremely conscious about my eyes and don’t feel like going anywhere.

1 year post op - double eyelid surgery revision to lower crease height and depth?
Goretti Ho Taghva, MD, FACS says:
