I recently had a bilateral lower blepharoplasty done 4 1/2 weeks ago. Swelling had resolved after a week or so, but over the past few days both, lids are getting puffy again. How long does swelling take to completely reslove? Do I need to go back to my surgeon as early as possible?

Answer: Swelling After Lower Blepharoplasty Thank you for your question. Lower Blepharoplasty unfortunately can cause a fair bit of swelling in patients, which does come and go. I always advice my patients that any residual swelling should have gone after 3 months post op. If you do have any concerns, please contact your plastic surgeon for a follow up, they have access and give you their advice.All The Best

Answer: Post operative swelling It is common to see post operative swelling which seems to fluctuate for many months. Patients often note how the swelling is worse at different times of the day. This is nothing to be alarmed about. Usually it takes 6-12 months for the eyelids to completely heal. If there is any pain associated with the swelling then follow up in office with your surgeon.

Answer: Swelling after blepharoplasty Maximum swelling is usually at about 3-5 days and goes away over a few months. You should sleep with your head elevated and cut back on salt to help the swelling.

Answer: Swelling after eyelid surgery Swelling from lower lid surgery can wax and wane over the first month or so. Exercise or sleeping on your stomach will cause temporary swelling but after a while, this temporary swelling will no longer occur. It can take a month or so.
