Will my eyes be congested and red after a facelift?

Some candidates have given me feedback that after they have had a facelift at an outside clinic, not only is their face swollen, but even their eyes are swollen along with it, is this condition normal? First of all, I have seen candidates in this situation. I once had a candidate for surgery, before the operation, he said he was a very “swollen” people, sometimes drink too much water, the next day will be very swollen. As a result, after the facelift, not only the facelift area is swollen, even the eyes are also very swollen, both eyes have facial congestion. I said to her jokingly, “You are really the most swollen person I have ever seen, and you are really swollen to a certain extent. Post-operative swelling exists in everyone. However, the severity of the swelling varies greatly. It has to do with the amount of trauma, the location of the surgery, and everything else. Even sometimes the surgical swelling is different on both sides of a person. As for the redness and swelling of the eyes, it is related to the state of the local appearance. If the surgical peeling is done closer to the orbital rim, or even sometimes subperiosteal peeling is done, then there is a possibility of blood seepage to the bulbar conjunctiva, which can lead to a certain amount of congestion in the white part of the eye. For facelift, under normal circumstances, it is true that the eyes are not too much redness and swelling. Because the peeling of the facelift is generally superficial, if indeed a deep peeling is done, it is possible that such a situation may occur.
