Hello. I had an upper blepharoplasty with nasal fat pad reduced/removed 6 months ago. However, my right upper eyelid nasal fat pad seems to be protruding even more than before the procedure. Is this residual fat, excess skin, or scarring? I am confused because my surgeon said he does not see the issue. Please let me know how I can correct the bulging in the right upper eyelid. Thank you for your help.

Answer: Upper eyelid Thank you for your question.You had a beautiful upper eyelid surgery, it looks almost symmetrical with nice scars.All surgeries have risks of asymmetrical results. After 6 months the swelling should be gone. The bulging tissue can be a bit of skin or fat excess. I would recommend you to remove a small amount of skin and decide to remove more fat during intervention. This is again a pretty good result, you should consider to get a correction when it disturbs you too much.Best luck

Answer: Consider sitting tight for another six months. Based on your photos, your right upper eyelid appears to be more swollen than your left. And since you still have some redness in your scars, this could be an indication that you are not completely healed. If you end up having a persistent asymmetry in the nasal fat area, removing this at the appropriate time is relatively straightforward. I hope this helps, and thank you for your question. Sincerely, Dr. Joseph
