Is it normal to have cheekbone pain after double eyelid surgery? 2 weeks post op.

Dear xalicex(Singapore, SG),Thank you for your question. It is not common to have pain over the cheekbone below the eyes after suture blepharoplasty unless there was some treatment done to your lower eyelid area e.g. filler or fat grafts to this area. And even if that was so, it would not be painful after 2 weeks. If the pain persists, do check in with your doctor.
I hope this answers your question. Have a great week ahead and all the speedy recovery!Dr. Terence Goh

Thank you for sharing your question. After 2 weeks, there should not be much discomfort (especially in the lower eyelids). See your surgeon for evaluation.Good luck,

It is not common to have pain after non incision upper eyelid surgery but I have seen a couple of patients during my practice years. It usually subsides within 4 weeks and I believe it is due to non visible bruise. I believe you can have this problem resolved quicker by warm compress. 

Thanks,

Dr.Andrew Choi
