I don't understand why my lower eye area would be swollen after an upper bleph. It looks like pockets of fluid after an upper eye bleph. How long will the swelling last? I also had restyalne injected before upper bleph in the lower eye area. Is this the problem? It looks bad. Will the swelling to away at the lower eye area?

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 of the lower eyelid with upper eyelid surgery. This is very common and may be aggravated by the Restylane use but should be markedly improved by 7-10 days. If it lasts more than 6 weeks you may want to consider the off label use of hyaluronidase. In the meantime, sleep with your head elevated, consider cool compresses and inquire about the implementation of manual lymphatic drainage.
