One Eye Looks Different After Upper Blepharoplasty surgery

I just had my upper eyelids lifted a week ago. Although still red, most of the swelling has gone down. I am noticing that one eye is smaller and "different" than the other. I went to a well-known and respected plastic surgeon. Is it too soon to worry? Should I wait the full two weeks to really appreciate results?

Blepharoplasty Result Timing

Thanks for the question - It is too early to tell smaller differences in symmetry. Things that can be of concern at this point would include inability to close your eyes and protect your cornea, wound healing problems, infection or major asymmetry. As always, it is vital that you stay in touch with your surgeon as your post-op course progresses. Self photography to document your progress can be helpful as well. I hope this helps.
