I had eye surgery on monday and i have a big bag under my eye??
Question: i have been sleeping alot so is the bag just from the surgery? also is my eye is VERY troublesome at the moment as the stitches are beginning to dissolve :-(
Answers: Did you have strabismus surgery?
Any time there's ocular surgery, tissues get a bit stretched or deformed by all the pulling and tugging, lid speculum, etc. As the drainage of the orbit is back, though some goes facial, fluids have a problem draining. they'll accumulate in the soft tissues of the orbit, the lid tissues, etc.
Most of the time within a week most of the swelling is down. If you lay down, that'll increase the venous pressure and it'll drain 'slower' because there's increase venous pressure which is ultimately where those fluids drain towards.
You can use ice in a little baggy, but use a washcloth between the plastic and the skin or you'll 'burn' the skin. use it for about 20 minutes 3-4 times a day. Keep your head elevated and it'll go down 'faster'.
I'm no doctor but I'd say yes the surgery probably caused it. You might want to call the doctor though just in case; especially if it gets worse.
what kind of eye surgery? the area under your eye is like a empty area so all the blood and everything gathers there after surgery and swolles up. It will prob bruse soon. dont worry it will be ok. if in pain contact ANE for having it looked at. you should be on some strong antibiotics?
