Dr. John Christophel answered

Specializes in ENT - Head & Neck Surgery

No: Common to have some eye irritation that could present as eye redness. However, if you are having tears that fall down your face, I would see your surgeon to ensure your tear duct isn't blocked from some packing placed during surgery.
