Question: Hi!!! My name is XXXX 6 month ago i had a blepharoplasty under my eyes.

Brief Answer:
Likely you will need a revision
Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome to healthcaremagic
I am Dr. Kakkar. I have gone through your query.
The fullness at the bottom of your lower eyelids following lower eyelid blepharoplasty is more likely residual fat.
I would like to gather some more information from you in order to be able to help you better.
-Is the puffiness same as before Or is has reduced after surgery?
-Can you upload, before and after surgery, clear digital photographs?
I guess the methylprednisolone that was given post-operatively was most probably given for post-operative edema and swelling. Since your eyebags appeared again after methylprednisolone was discontinued and you still have eyebags 6 months after the surgery therefore most likely you need a revision.

Thank you very much for your answer! My swelling is not at the same spot it is more unther and around my eyes! Can this be an inflammation?!
Brief Answer:
Lower Lid Blepharoplasty
Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Usually 3 months post surgery is good enough time for all the inflammation and bruising to subside after lower lid blepharoplasty. However, since you have crossed 6 months since you were operated, so it is highly unlikely that it is due to inflammation.
