I have extra skin on one eye after upper Blepharoplasty 3 weeks ago. Should I plan to have surgery again to have it redone since extra skin was left?
Answer: More skin after upper blepharoplasty It is very common to have persistent swelling of the upper eyelid skin after surgery at 3 weeks, especially if fat was also removed. It may also be due to sagging brows causing more skin present before the surgery.

Answer: Allow eyes to fully heal before second surgery Since it has only been three weeks status post blepharoplasty, it is important to wait at least three months prior to undergoing revision eyelid surgery. This can be done easily under local anesthetic after full healing has taken effect, when all the swelling has subsided and the incisions have healed.

Answer: Still early to have second blepharoplasty Assuming you didn't originally need a brow lift, I'd give this surgery some time before making a decision on its success. Three weeks isn't much time. You still likely have some swelling which will detract from your final result. Give it a couple months before approaching your surgeon about a touchup.

Answer: Second surgery to remove excess skin after Blepharoplasty On occasion, there may be a small amount of extra skin on one or both upper eyelids following Blepharoplasty. In these cases, it is very easy to conservatively excise the excess skin with local anesthesia. However, three weeks post-op is too soon. The perceived excess skin may be related to post-surgical swelling. I would be inclined to wait at least three to six months before considering removing any apparent excess skin from the upper eyelids.
