Typically, it is best to wait at least six months before repairing an ectropion unless you are symptomatic such as dry watery eyes. Chemosis will generally resolve before the need for an ectropion repair and often it causes a temporary ectropion until it resolves so I would advise waiting on the ectropion repair but without pictures it would be hard to say otherwise. Also, you should have been prescribed by your physician eye massage techniques to help with the chemosis. As far as fat replacement for excessive orbital fat removal, sometimes it lasts many years and sometimes multiple injections are required. Use of the micro-augmentation technique has a little better results but typically fat take is no better than 50% which may or may not be enough to correct your problem. I hope this information helps
