Hi...I just read through your query. I congratulate you on the success of the surgery. I feel these are the possibilities for eye lid and temples puffiness -
1. Positional edema. 2. Sometimes post cardiac surgery there can be fluid accumulation in the body and this is remote possibility as ECHO is normal. 3. Nephrotic syndrome - This might occur when the kid is losing protein in the urine. Regards - Dr. Sumanth
