You need to see an ophthalmologist or oculoplastic specialist for evaluation. It could be early blepharospasm but most likely benign eyelid fasciculations which can be treated with botox.
Hi Ahovind,Let me reassure you this is possible after lower bleph. It results from irritation and inflammation of then nerve/muscle of the lower eyelid as it heals. It will likely get better but may take some time.Follow closely with your surgeon. He/she might recommend massage, cold compress, or even Botox to relax the muscle.Best wishes on your healing,Dr. Jay
Hi greetings from the UK. Rest assured what you're experiencing can occur in the absence of surgery anyway. As others have said it can occur more commonly post surgery and we sometimes see it following any type of surgery. Usually it self resolves. Sometimes it improves with reduction in caffeine intake and better sleep patterns anyway. Very rarely if persistent, low dose botulinum toxin injections may be necessary. I'd agree that seeing an oculoplastic surgeon would be valuable. Best wishesDavid
You should follow the postoperative instructions given to you by your surgeon. If you do not have them or have questions, call their office and be sure to follow the protocols they have established for your surgery. If you are not happy with the answers they give, seek a second opinion in person with a local specialist.

Thanks for the question. I would make an appointment to see your surgeon again. The eyes look red and inflamed and you might have a concurrent conjunctivitis and may require acourse of antibiotics. Were you put on any antibiotics after your surgery and have the eyes changed much since or have ...
Have you had any injections of anti-inflammatory medicine? A combination of steroid with 5-FU and often soften and flatten these scars. May take more than one injection. If it does not go away completely, it will at least be easier to revise since the scar will be softer.
Usually no further changes are expected after 3 months from surgery. Best to discuss with your surgeon. Based on this photo, it appears you have residual under eye fat pads.
Your brow is pretty high now. Before doing a surgery I would try some Botox to the outer brow which should give you an elevation of the temporal brow. If you really like the way it looks, then you could consider a surgical temporal brow lift.
There isn't a specific age when eyelid surgery is recommended or not. Another surgical option could be a brow lift. I would recommend coming in for a free consultation so that we can really take a look at you and give you all your options.
