Small hematoma in upper eyelid 3 weeks after upper and lower blepharoplasy. Will this go away on its own? (Photo)

Asked By:Blef Leppard in Tucson, AZ

I caused a small hematoma in my upper eyelid 3 weeks after upper and lower blepharoplasy. It happened when removing makeup (I thought I was being careful)! There seems to be a pocket of blood under the skin that is traveling/spreading rather that being reabsorbed. Will this go away on its own? It has already been over a week since it happened, and it just seems to keep getting worse.
