Swollen Bags After Lower Eyelid Blepharoplasty

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.

Dear Kjeans,
Two weeks after a lower eyelid surgery is not very much time. It is completely expected that at this time frame you will have residual swelling in the lower eyelids and at the top of the cheek. This could account for the fullness you are describing. It may be that with enough time, this will resolve.
How long should you wait? Typically, we tell patients that the most obvious swelling will settle in about 6 to 8 weeks. However, there are always exceptions to every rule. You should not be concerned about this swelling at this time frame. The issue should be much better possibly resolved by the time of your next visit. Remember it is very hard to be patient while the body heals.
If your swelling persists after this time frame, consider recontacting the Realself community and include before and after photos.
