CO2 Laser Resurfacing Around the Eyes

I had CO2 lower eyelid skin resurfacing with 2 laser passes. It was performed by a plastic surgeon. Today is my 13th day after the procedure. I have noticed the emergence of two deep wrinkles starting at the inner corners of my lower lids inner corners. They are about one inch and a quarter. Is that normal? Please let me know.


hi,
yes, i think that this is a consequence of normal swelling. the skin around the eyes is delicate, so swelling around there can take a while to resolve. the swelling often produces the kinds of wrinkles that you are talking about.give it about a week or so to resolve. i would talk to your doctor about what he likes to do to speed up resolution of the swelling.
hope that helps
