I’m considering upper/lower blepharoplasty with fat grafting, but one of my biggest concerns is asymmetry. I’ve read that fat can settle differently on each side, and I’m worried my eyes might look uneven after healing. How common is asymmetry after eyelid surgery with fat grafting, and does it usually improve over time or require revision? Would love to hear real experiences.
Yes, some unevenness is pretty normal early on. Fat doesn’t settle evenly right away and swelling can be different on each side. In my case, things looked much more even after a few months, and I didn’t need any correction.
Yes, asymmetry after eyelid surgery with fat grafting is fairly common, especially in the early healing phase. In my case, one eye looked more swollen than the other for weeks, but it slowly evened out as the swelling went down.
Some asymmetry is pretty common after eyelid surgery with fat grafting, especially while healing. I noticed unevenness early on and it stressed me out, but once the swelling went down around 3–4 months, things looked much more even.
Early asymmetry is fairly normal with fat grafting because the body absorbs fat differently on each side. In my case, the difference was obvious at first but improved over time. My surgeon told me to wait a few months before judging the final result, which helped a lot.
