What Causes Puffy Eyelids After A Plastic Surgery For Eyelid Lift?

I had plastic surgery for a eyelid lift. They pulled the eye lift up through a small cut in my hairline. All was well for two days then I vomited three times in an hour. Now my lower eyelids are very puffy, and a little purpl, probably from the strain. Should I put Vaseline on them and cool packs or what? Thanking you in advance

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having puffiness of eyelids following plastic surgery for eyelid lift.
This is because of inflammation induced by the surgery. The treatment is by use of anti-inflammatory drugs. Applying cold compression provides symptomatic relief.
Since you have had episodes of vomiting the infection following surgery has to be ruled out. Hence I advice you to consult your doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
