I am day 12 after a deep plane face lift, lower eyelid surgery with fat repositioning and rhinoplasty. My smile on my left side is slightly asymmetrical but only slightly. What is worrying me is that I am having trouble with my left eye. It is not blinking fully and I can't wink with it. I have been using preservative free eye drops but they seem to be irratating my eye more. Is not being able to blink one eye completely normal after surgery? Does it usually resolve on its own? What do you recommend I do?
