Thank you for your question. Swelling around the eyes is completely normal after Facelift surgery. There is a lot of swelling and bruising near that area. I would suggest checking with your surgeon and making regular follow ups to ensure this is all part of the healing process. All The Best
Hello and thank you for the question. It would be useful to see some photographs to know specifically what you mean. Early after facelift, it is expected to have diffuse swelling in the entire face. Your lower eyelids are in close proximity to the areas of tissue dissection and can swell after a facelift. Upper eyelids can swell after brow lift. I would advise that you see your surgeon to make sure nothing else is going on. Best,Pejman Aflaki, M.D.Johns Hopkins-trained plastic surgeon
