Lower blepharoplasty eyelid shape distorted - how soon is a revision possible?

Question

Day 15 post: lower bleph + fat bag removal + fat grafting under eyes/cheek + co2 laser.. Both eyelids look smaller/slanted, assymetrical with the right side much worse: as if insufficient lower eyelid skin/slanted/smaller/tighter/squinting appearance, in field of vision, extremely bothersome. Are sutures considered a canthopexy? Is it reversible? Can it be loosened/reverted to the original anatomical position? How soon is a revision possible?

Zoran Potparic, MD · Answer

It is normal to expect some asymmetry and temporary shape change very early after lower blepharoplasty mostly due to swelling from surgery, in particular after fat grafts. You should wait at least 6 months before considering any corrective surgery unless you develop some functional issues. Continue follow up visits with your surgeon and stay positive. Good luck.
