I am 39 years old. I had a lower eyelid Blepharoplasty done 2 weeks ago. My tear troughs were apparent and also the bags above. Im only two weeks into this, but it appears that I have new swelling bags on the area on each side under the tear troughs. Should I be concerned? My second consultation is scheduled in five weeks.
Answer: Still Healing after Blepharoplasty At two weeks it is too early to tell what the source of the swelling is due to so it is most likely due to your recent surgery. Frequently the lower eyelid continues to resolve swelling and post operative changes for up to one year.

Answer: Early Post-operative Swelling It's not unusual for patients to develop swelling in the periorbital region after upper lid blepharoplasty. In the vast majority of patients, this swelling is transient and resolves in about one to two weeks following surgical intervention. Unfortunately, in some cases, swelling may be persistent lasting several months following surgery.It's not uncommon for this swelling to extend into the surrounding soft tissue. When this happens, gravity can have a significant impact upon the location of the swelling. This often results in dependent edema which explains the swelling below your tear trough area.When this situation arises, it's important to avoid strenuous activity, maintain head elevation and avoid salt intake. When these steps are taken, resolution of swelling is facilitated.If you're concerned about post-operative swelling, it's important to consult your plastic surgeon. Your surgeon should be able to address your concerns and alleviate your anxiety.

Answer: Swelling in lower lids 2 weeks post op You question is helpful for many patients who share the same concern. It is not unusual for some swelling to persist beyond 2 weeks after lower eyelid blepharoplasty. The full amount of swelling can take a few months to completely resolve. There is certainly no need to be concerned at the 2 week mark. Thank you for sharing your question.

Answer: You are recent post op. No need to get worried for now. You are fairly recently post-op and there is most likely residual swelling and the tissues have not settled. It usually takes several weeks to months for the swelling to completely resolve after blepharoplasty. That is why your appointment is five weeks away. However, if you have any concerns, then you should see your surgeon sooner. Good luck.
