If there is no swelling or redness, you don’t have be concerned. Swelling, redness, and tenderness might be late infection, which is rare.
As other doctors say, it is most likely that you are getting the sensation back. It will resolve spontaneously over months. If it doesn’t, please see your surgeon or a board certified plastic surgeon.

Welcome to Realself. Thank you for your question. It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
I’m sorry to hear that you are feeling the pain. I understand that you underwent breast surgery three times and the last surgery was 2 years ago.
It is very common having post-op pain or abnormal sensation after breast augmentation for months. But you have had the pain for 2 years. That pain is actually prolonged, which is not uncommon after having multiple surgeries…

Welcome to Realself! Thank you for your question★ It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
If you mentioned about the asymmetrical double eyelids’ width, it would be easy to fix it. Your right double eyelid’s width looks narrower than left.
I would perform a non-incisional double eyelid surgery using thread in order to widen the right double eyelid’s width. This procedure takes only about 10 minutes and the eyelid will not swell so much. Mild swelling usually resolves within a week.&…

Welcome to Realself. Thank you for your question. It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
Firstly, it is unclear what sort of surgery you underwent. Healing time is various depending on the surgery.
It is possible to treat a hole with filler. I would fix the pleat with non-incisional double eyelid surgery or re-operation.
But I cannot give you right suggestions without knowing about what surgery you underwent.

What are the chances of me developing scars or keloid?
Risk of Keloid Scar
Oct 19, 2018
Oct 19, 2018
Welcome to Realself! Thank you for excellent question★ It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
As you said, the risk of scar hypertrophy and hyperpigmentation is increased in patients with African American descent.
But from the history of your injury and family history, the risk of keloid scar would be very low.
Surgeries around eyes demand high skill. I recommend choosing an experienced board certified plastic surgeon.

Welcome to Realself! Thank you for your question★ It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
Cavitation massage helps reduce the risks of prolonged swelling and lumps and hardness. It is a highly recommended thing after body contouring treatment such as liposuction.
Please follow your surgeon’s instruction and continue the massage.

Welcome to Realself. Thank you for your question. It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
As you think, you have mild post-operative ectropion. Mild ectropion will usually resolve with massage and taping the eyelid upwards for a few weeks.
I think that the current treatment is correct. Please follow your provider’s instruction.

Welcome to Realself! Thank you for your question. It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
Usually, most plastic surgeons would not recommend massage 2.5 weeks after liposuction or fat grafting. I would recommend talking to your Board Certified Plastic Surgeon. Only your surgeon has the detailed information about the surgery.

Welcome to Realself! Thank you for your question★ It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
You do have subtle asymmetry. Firstly, if it is not getting worse, there will be no problem. If you want to fix it, there are some options.
I recommend the treatment using high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU) that can lift your upper eyelids or non-incisional ptosis surgery.

Vision change after blepharoplasty

Sep 20, 2018
Welcome to Realself. Thank you for your question. It is a pleasure to answer your questions.
I understand that you are concerned about vision change and pain after blepharoplasty. There are so many kinds of blepharoplasty, so it is really hard to presume the cause of your eye problem.
But vision change could become a serious problem. Please receive active management by an experienced ophthalmologist.

Liposuction is usually not going to affect your Tattoo unless the skin of your arms lacks elasticity and is very redundant and saggy. Skin pigmentation after liposuction can change the skin color but it is not likely to affect Tattoo.

I understand that you are concerned about the swollen pockets of your lower eyelids. It might be fluid, remaining orbital fat, or redundant lower eyelid skin with pigmentation. It is hard to tell what it is without an in-person examination. I recommend you to have this discussion with your surgeon or a highly qualified ophthalmic plastic surgeon.

It is not uncommon to use different style implants to achieve symmetry especially when the patient has different anatomical structures. This sort of procedure demands technique and experience. I have performed it countless times.
It actually is standard practice.
