I had upper and lower blepharoplasty 10 days ago with transcutaneous and canthopexy with lowers, no fat removal some skin removed. I have tight skin fold in one outside corner and bumps on both, but when I contract the muscle that pulls the nose sideways, I get a wrinkle from the outside corner of my left eye diagonal to my nostril. Sounds crazy but it looks like a tendon is pulling it; is this possible?
Answer: Do yourself and favor and stop looking in the mirror Do yourself a favor and stop looking in the mirror. You are very early post-op and you still have significant swelling and the tissues have not settled. In a few days to weeks, all of this will improve. You will save yourself much grief and distress by being patient and not over-analyzing everything in the mirror. Good luck with your recovery.

Answer: Lower Blepharoplasty Bumps and Folds Without photographs it is difficult to give you specific advice. That being said, it is not unusual to have small bumps and folds 10 days after a lower blepharoplasty. These should slowly resolve over time. The wrinkle from your left eye to your nostril is also probably related to swelling and alterations in the normal activity of the obicularis oculi muscle and should also resolve with time.

Answer: Bumps are normal after canthopexy or canthoplasty The bumps in the outer corners of the eyes is a normal phenomenon after a canthopexy or canthoplasty. There are sutures underneath the area of the orbital rim, the lateral portion of the orbit, which are holding the new position of the eyelid in an upward fashion. Either permanent or dissolvable sutures can be used and in time the swelling will subside and the bumps should go away regardless of the suture used.

Answer: Relax, it has only been 10 days Most of us that do a significant amount of eyelid surgery understand that a majority of patients will "settle" in 5-7 days. However, when more extensive work is needed such as canthopexies or muscle plications the healing time is usually longer. The bumps are usually the tissue reaction to the sutures that are used in the corners for the canthopexy.
