Droopy Eyelid After Strabismus Surgery, Do I Need Surgery? I had strabismus surgery on only my left eye 4 weeks ago. The alignment is fine now, but what I didn't expect is that now my eyelid droops. My eyelid feels like there is a weight on it that prevents me from lifting the lid all the way up. I did not have this problem before. Is this likely permanent? Would a blepharoplasty fix this? I had a previous strabismus surgery 25 years ago, and DID NOT have droopy eyelids afterwards.

A: Droopy Eyelid After Strabismus Surgery, Do I Need Surgery?

Droopy eyelids after strabismus surgery can happen. I personally like waiting 6 months before performing any surgical correction because ptosis (droopy eyelid) sometimes resolve when swelling goes away. A blepharoplasty will probably not fix this, most likely you will need a ptosis repair. See an Oculoplastic surgeon so he can evaluate the droopy eyelid.

Lower Eyelid Trouble After ZMC Fracture Repair, Will It Fix Itself? (photo) At 4 weeks after surgery my lower eyelid position has not changed much. When comparing left and right, the right one feels firm and only slightly moves when I smile or squint, appearing like the area around the scar is stuck there. Feels like I need the skin to get soft and the area around the scar to get unstuck! Is it common for the eyelid to appear hard and stuck like that? Is it lack of muscle tone? Should I be massaging it? Will time soften the scar and provide more flex? Thank you! Alex.

A: facial bone fracture sequelae

Your posted photos are mostly consistent with scar tissue between the skin and deeper layers and possibly reattachment of soft tissues lower on the bones. In order to expose and fix the fracture the soft tissues on top of the bone have to be freed up. In some cases they reattach lower on the bone. Your best bet now is massage possibly with suture, finger or hook upward traction on the lower eyelid and if the issue does not resolve after a few months of this conservative treatment you will need additional surgery.

Do I Need Someone to Stay with Me After Eyelid Surgery? I'm 70 and Live Alone. live a lone and in my 70's and need upper eyelid surgery to improve vision.

A: care after surgery

It sounds like you are asking because you do not have the option of having someone help you. Since the surgery is being done to improve vision the best solution is have the surgery in the hospital and stay they for less than 24 hours so the nurses can help you, show you how to put in the eyedrops and make sure you can care for yourself after leaving the hospital.

	“Above and Beyond the Standard of...” I couldn't suffer with the depression of my appearance any longer, not to mention I was unable to protect my eyeball... Two years ago I had a doctor accidentally sever my 5 and 7 facial nerve during a jaw surgery... He told me it would come back but it never did. So for 2 years I had to battle with the depression of living with the right side of my face completely paralyzed. I was... more
	“A great surgeon and amazing results!...” I recently had blepharoplasty and fat grafting for my hollow sunken eyes. I also had these horrid dark circles for years, and I’ve been told by many people, that I'd simply had to live with them. Fortunately, I wasn't about to believe that, and I got a referral for Dr. Massry, from Adam J. Scheiner, M.D. Dr. Massry has the expertise and experience that made me feel at ease... more
	“Lower Transconjunctival...” I had this done as an afterthought to my rhinoplasty. I've had bags under my eyes since I was a young child. As early as age 11 I started getting the comment that would follow me until I had this surgery "You look so tired, are you sleeping well?". Even a month before the surgery, I was explaining to a friend that I added-on the eye procedure to which he replied "can't... more

I was tired of my mother telling me how tired I looked but, more than that, I was tired of looking older than I felt. The entire process went very smoothly and they worked with me to accommodate my schedule for an event I didn't want to... more
	“Finally, Look Like Myself - Beverly...” I had a very prestigious Beverly Hills Dr. transfer fat from my stomach to the area under my eyes. In time, the fat grew and distorted my entire face. My sister yelled at me and told me I looked like a monster. I resorted to every kind of filler to even out my face and to just look normal. Well, nothing worked. I then consulted with 5 different surgeons and knew I found the right man when... more
	“Mystery Shopper - Beverly Hills, CA” Though I had a medical problem, plastic surgery was required to repair the damage. I am terrified of general anesthesia. Dr. G. performed complex eyelid surgery with only LOCAL injections. He had great concern for MY comfort, which made the experience much less difficult. I am terrified of general anesthesia. Dr. G. performed complex eyelid surgery with only LOCAL injections. more
	“The Eyes Are the Window to the Soul...” Out of the blue one morning I realized my eyelids were screaming at me Help! I took action and saw Dr. G for Help. My world has changed. I adore the results and wondered why I had not done it sooner. There was virtually no downtime. more
	“The First Cosmetic Surgeon I Have...” I had lower eyelid bags. I saw a number of well regarded plastic surgeons. They all gave me the creeps. They really seemed more interested in doing my boobs than my eyelids. I saw Dr. S. He actually examined me and talked to me about what I wanted. He was not like a slick salesman. He was really the first sugreon I have meet who was caring. I had arcus marginalis release surgery and lower... more

	“Fixing my Drooping Eyelid Took Years...” My whole life one of my eyelids was drooping. As I got older it was even less attractive.

After the surgery the pain was minimal but I was very swollen and did not been comfortable going out for about a week. When the swelling subsided I really could not have been happier with... more

	“Eyelid Surgery - Newport Beach, CA” For the longest time, I debated to have my eyelids done. Since I turned 60, my upper eyelids were dropping over my eyes and my lower eyelids were getting puffier by the day. Like many others though, I was afraid of surgery. But when I heard so many good things from my friends about Dr. S, and after I did my own research, I gathered the courage to at least consider it. This was a big... more
	“Left with "Floppy" Eyelids! Doctors...” First, right after my eyelide surgery, I noticed that the stitches were unever & that there were gaps where the skin seamed to 'gap' open. I just figured that the PS new what he was doing. Then I noticed that the incision 'crease' lines were not even! Now that it is 9 days post surgery, stiches out -- my eyes look horrible. I seem to have hanging eye lids above my incision... more
	“Severe Chemosis After Upper Bleph” I would not have gone through w/ the surgery if I had known about chemosis. I did the operation to even the eyelids. The doctor I chose was knowledable about Asian Eyelids.I had the Upper Bleph done almost two weeks ago with dissolvable suture. I removed the stitches that did not dissolve on day 4 (per PS instructions). The reason I removed my own stitches is because my PS is about 6 hours... more
	“Upper Eyelid Hollowness 6 Years...” I originally planned to only have lower eyelid surgery because I was always bothered by bagginess that made me look tired. There was some droopiness to the upper lids so the doctor suggested fixing that at the same time. I have fairly closely spaced eyes, and he told me that my age would show in my eyes more than anywhere else on my face, so having my eyes done could help me look younger... more
	“Shouldn't Have Had Surgery when...” I was tired of getting botox every 6 months so I decided to finally seek out a good eye surgeon. I had an upper bleph, ptosis repair and a browlift. The ptosis repair was to lift the eyelid so more of my iris would show and I wouldn't look so sleepy. The upper bleph was supposed to get rid of the hooding, and the browlift was supposed to keep the bleph from pulling down the eyeli more

	“Eyes After 3 Weeks” My treatment so far looks okay. I need to be patient. The operation itself wasn't painful, and neither is the recovery. The Dr. did have me take an over the counter herb that really stoped the brusing.I had lower eyelid surgery done 3 weeks ago.
