Due to the invasive nature of eyelid surgery, it is normal for patients to experience some discomfort following the operation. Bruising, swelling and irritation are common side effects, but when these are experienced over a lengthy period, or where other issues develop, it may mean that your surgery was carried out negligently.
Common consequences can include:
Infection
Scarring
Removing too little/too much skin or tissue
Damage to the eye itself
Asymmetrical-looking eyes
Blurred or double vision
Dry itchy eyes
Bleeding behind the eye
