Lower Blepharoplasty mistake?

Eyelid Surgery

I had lower. Blepharoplasty done 11 days ago. The incisions appear to be healing nicely. My question is why do I have these folds of skin down the corners of my eyes? I do have crows feet, but they never looked like this before. Is this normal? The surgery was done by a board certified plastic surgeon with 26 yrs experience.. He said that it will all even out in time. Should I be concerned?

I have a wound vac on my tt incision. Dra have pulled my stalk up and tried to reattach bb 4 times. Including with staples. The surgeon wants to do this again. Is there a better way to reattach to the stalk and close it up?

Are women happy with removal if they are very flat chested or wish they got implants replaced?

Breast Implant Removal

I’ve had a deflation of a 325cc saline implant that was 12 years old and am torn between removing them vs replacing. I’m a runner and very active . I’m 42 and scared that if I remove them I’ll be very unhappy with how much they sag or scared they will just look horrible. I am 5’8” and 115lbs. Not sure I want to keep having surgery every 10 yrs either. What do most women end up doing?
