I had upper eyelid surgery on both eyes on June 25th of this year. My right eyelid is not opening all the way when I look up or out to the side. When I raise my eyebrows, my entire right eye pulls up. The left eye is not having any of these problems. Also, I have raised scars on the outside of both of my eyes.Could my doctor have injured the levator muscle in my right eye, or possibly extracted too much fat, causing a ptosis effect?

Answer: Post Blepharoplasty healing Dear Anonymous, i am sorry that you are having issues with healing. You should return to your surgeon for review and if they are not familiar with your condition then they should refer you for a consult with a surgeon who can deal with your problem. With Warm Regards, Trevor M Born MD

Answer: Probably a temporary issue When extensive work is done on the lids there tends to be extensive swelling. This includes swelling of the muscles as well as the skin and surrounding tissues. This and the work can cause a temporary decrease in function of the muscle. It's not unexpected. Since you're very early out from surgery give it some time. If there's still an issue after 6 months then it should be addressed.
