[Lari Plastic Surgery] Revision Lower Blepharoplasty: From Pre- and Post-Op Photos to the Recovery Course with Swelling

Today, we’re going to look at questions about lower blepharoplasty.

These are things that even if we explain them to patients who come to the clinic a hundred times,

they always worry about and always want to know.

Today, I also brought along photos from one week after surgery, the day the stitches were removed,

which may look a little unsettling at first glance.

Usually, I only show the before-and-after photos,

but the reason I’m showing these photos as well is because of swelling.

"Doctor, is this really okay..? When will it go away..?"

Lower blepharoplasty is performed by making an incision in the inner conjunctiva of the lower eyelid during surgery, and conjunctival swelling is also accompanied during the recovery process.

It is something that can happen to anyone.

However, this swelling is a magical recovery process that naturally goes away over time without any special measures or treatment. So there is no need to worry!

Conjunctival swelling refers to swelling of the conjunctiva accompanied by redness, as seen in the photos from one week after surgery.

Even with the same procedure, it can appear differently on each side,

with swelling on one side and no swelling at all on the other, and in severe cases, it may even look as if the eye is sagging downward.

When looking at the photos of both sides now, the degree of conjunctival swelling differs, so the amount of lower blepharoplasty on each eye may look different.

"This side went down more, and this side went down less ㅠㅠ"

In this way, patients often say, "I think the degree of the lower blepharoplasty is different..!"

but if you look at the photos three months after surgery, the degree of lower blepharoplasty in both eyes is similar, with no major difference.

The clinic’s advice not to worry may sound general and obvious,

but it is based on the recovery course seen while experiencing countless cases.

We understand all too well how upsetting and worrying it can be,

but plastic surgery is an art of waiting built on trust,

so we hope patients will trust and follow the clinic’s guidance well♡
