Question
Answer Header & Date
Answer Snippet
Did this ptosis eyelid surgery (13 days ago) fail or am I swollen? Will I see lifting in com
Ptosis Post-op
Nov 12, 2017
Swelling and minor bruising is expected following eyelid ptosis repair. Initially this swelling can be minimized by the frequent application of ice compresses (using zip-lock bags). After two days of ice compresses I suggest that you switch to warm compresses which will help to accelerate the resolution of bruises. It is normal to have swelling in the first month. It usually takes about six weeks for the swelling and bruising to visibly heal but this depends on each person. For some, it ta…
Chalazion: Should I go again with the specialist or just leave it?
Chalazion
Nov 12, 2017
Hello and thank you for your question. Chalazions can take anywhere between a few months to a year to heal. Usually, I recommend using a warm compress and a gentle massage. This should help circulation and open up the affected gland. If this does not help, and if the chalazion has not healed over a long period of time, you could consider steroids. Steroids such as Kenalog offer a less invasive technique and an alternative to surgery. However, the injections will most probably have to be …
Uneven lids after double eyelid surgery. 12 days post op.
Recovery post op
Nov 12, 2017
Thank you for your question. I usually recommend ice compresses contained in zip-lock bags for the first two days. You must refrain from vigorous exercise for the first two weeks to prevent any rise in blood pressure or disruption of the wound. Following surgery you can expect to have swelling and bruising for up to two weeks. In some diabetic patients healing and swelling will take longer to resolve. You can expect that the incisions will appear initially pink and over several months th…
Am I candidate for under eye surgery or filler?
Surgery or fillers
Nov 5, 2017
Hello and thank you for your question. Based on the photograph, you seem have a deep tear trough. You would be a good candidate for either fillers or surgery. While HA fillers have lesser downtime, are much quicker and are easily correctable procedures, you will need more than one filler and it must be repeated over a period. It is also a temporary option when compared to surgery. If, on the other hand, you are looking something more permanent, I would recommend a transconjunctival lowe…
Lower eyelids Puffiness, what are my best options?
Surgery and Fat Redistribution
Nov 5, 2017
Hello, thank you for your question. Bags under the eyes are caused by many reasons such as prolapse of fat around the eye. You seem to have herniated fat pads with excess fat. Based on your pictures, I think your best option would be a transconjunctival lower blepharoplasty (which involves an incision along the inside of the eye), along with redistribution of fat, which is done by fat grafting. Having the fat moved a little lower to fill in the cheeks rather than the fat pads under the ey…

Recovery and healing – blepharoplasty, browlift
Nov 5, 2017
Thank you for your question. You are still quite early in your recovery period so I would not worry too much. The recovery process usually takes about six to eight weeks. So, it is perfectly normal to have swellings at this time. 
Also, it must be noted that human faces are generally asymmetrical and this is not abnormal/uncommon. Recovery time also varies between the left eye and right eye, so this could be the reason for the asymmetry that you notice. It should be better in a few weeks. …
What is the pebble under my skin where stitches were?
Scar Tissues and Granuloma
Nov 5, 2017
Occasionally epithelial inclusion cysts occur. The risk of suture granuloma formation is decreased by the use of certain sutures which must be removed completely at the appropriate time. The most common reason for small lumps occurring along the eyelid incision is due to lymphatic fluid retention or a small amount of scar tissue. In the period immediately following the operation, the scar tissue is usually raised and feels firm. Over, the next 3 months or so, the scar will mature and so…
