Upper Blepharoplasty Swelling: 1-Month Case Study (feat. Small Eyes)

Upper Blepharoplasty Swelling: 1-Month Case Study (feat. Small Eyes)

Today, I would like to post about the swelling associated with upper blepharoplasty.

Generally, ‘upper blepharoplasty’ is a comprehensive term that includes double eyelid surgery and subbrow lifts.

However, most patients understand upper blepharoplasty as a procedure that removes sagging skin and creates a double eyelid crease.

This patient is in their 50s and underwent upper blepharoplasty.

Looking at the photo, the outer corners of the eyes are particularly saggy, making the patient look tired and the eyes appear covered.

Furthermore, because of the sagging, the patient was lifting their forehead to compensate, which caused the eyebrows to appear raised.

The double eyelid line was carefully designed, and the sagging skin was excised.

This is the appearance after 1 week. There is some bruising, but the swelling is not severe.

Bruising tends to move downward due to gravity. Dark bruises like these will gradually move further down and disappear once they turn yellow.

The swelling has subsided significantly. However, if you look closely, the eyebrow tattoos are slightly different, so even if the surgical results are symmetrical, they may appear slightly different.

The video version is as follows:

The final outcome is typically assessed at the 6-month mark.

In the case of middle-aged upper blepharoplasty, one side may appear to sag more over time, or some patients may have a habit of lifting one eyebrow, among other variables.

There may certainly be cases where a patient feels the shape is slightly lacking or wishes to further improve a sagging area.

In such cases, we provide corrections. A re-consultation can be scheduled at the 6-month mark.

However!!! Please do not insist on early correction out of impatience!!..

It is best to wait until the wound has fully matured and settled.~~
