Malar edema 1 year post upper and lower blepharoplasty – Is there anything else I can do? (photos)
Actual RealSelf Patient Comment: I had a lower and upper blepharoplasty exactly one year ago. I had severe chemosis afterwards. which resolved within a few months, however I still have very noticeable malar edema. I have been checked out by an opthamologist and a cornea specialist and I do not have dry eye. I am currently having lymphatic drainage massage done which seems to be helping briefly but does not complete resolve the swelling, it just appears better for a few days afterwards. Is there anything else I can do?
Dr. Persky’s Reply: I have treated malar edema with a combination of Ultherapy and fractionated CO2. Profound RF may also help. Make sure to choose your treating physician most carefully. Good luck and be well
