Answer: Swelling after Blepharoplasty It's a little difficult to tell from your photos. A straight ahead photo would be helpful; however,prolonged swelling after blepharoplasty is not uncommon and usually subsides with time. You is a little droopy and may need correction after all the swelling is down and healing is complete.

Answer: Blepharoplasty - swelling 2 weeks after While not normal it is not uncommon to have some bleeding and it is normal to have swelling. I presume that the bleeding has stopped at 2 weeks. The scenario is seen occasionally that a small vessel will break open and bleed some in the first few days. Although this usually stops spontaneously it some times leaves behind residual swelling which may take a long time to heal. It can be caused by straining, coughing in the post op period and even taking aspirin or any of the other many anti-clotting factors pre op. Head elevation, massage and such anti swelling products as arnica montana, bromelain, papain, etc. may be helpful. There is asymmetry in your eyelids that probably will adjust as the swelling goes away. In a rare case it might require a minor revision later, but not for several months.
