How long before the swelling and bruising goes away after lower eye lid surgery?

Answer 1

the swelling may last less than a week but the bruising may take upto two or more weeks, good luck

Answer 2

Go see a doctor. It could either be a sty (a sty you can generally see a very small white head--similiar to a pimple on the inside skin of your eyelid-- hot compress over a couple days will help) or it could be an infection. The problem is, that one is not too bad of a situation (sty) but the other (infection) could be very serious and have long term consequences. I'd go to the doctor either way they can assess the situation properly and give you an anti-biotic to help.
