A member asked:
Is sagging eyelids a normal side effect after surgery?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Check with the doc: If there is a little swelling in the lids then they look like they are sagging but the lids should not normally drop down after surgery. It might depend on the type of surgery. Often the eyes are taped closed so they wont dry out durring surgery so it could be a reaction to the tape as well. As the doctor what they think.
