Had Lower Skin Pinch Blepharoplasty 5 Days Ago. Eyes Still Very Puffy.

July 22, 2011
Asked By:Jbnangia in Florida

I realize it's only been 5 days and that swelling can take a long time to resolve after lower blepharoplasty. However, I was under the impression that there would not be much swelling when only skin is removed. My eyes are still very swollen. How long should I expect the puffiness to last with pinch bleph? Should I expect the same time frame as any other lower bleph procedure? Thanks much!!
