Day 7 Upper Bleph: Panicking and crying because my creases look completely flat, tiny, and deformed. Did my surgeon ruin my eyes? 😭
Hey everyone, I installed Reddit just to post this because I’m having a massive emotional breakdown. I am 7 days post-op from an upper blepharoplasty and I can’t stop crying.
My creases look incredibly small, boxy, and completely asymmetrical. My right eye has a huge, heavy purple bruise and feels hard as wood—not loose or puffy at all. I also see a weird second cut line right above the stitches.
My surgeon casually said they might stay a "little asymmetrical," which has me completely spiraling. I wanted a wide, open, pretty crease like the inspiration photos I added at the end.
Please be brutally honest with me: Does this rigid stiffness go away? Will the crease actually open up and look bigger once the skin softens and tucks inward, or did they remove too much/too little skin? Stitches come out soon and I am losing my mind. Thank you.
