Will dog ears and bump after eyelid surgery resolve over time? (photo)

November 29, 2013
Asked By:stylesavant

I had eyelid revision surgery and ptosis correction two months ago in another country. The only issue is that I have some redundant skin at the end of incision line on one eye, and the other eye has what appears to be the same thing, but a small bump as well. I can't consult with doctor since he is in another country, but he asked me to massage the area, and thinks it should resolve in time. Willing to wait it out, but only concern is that it hasn't gotten better since surgery.
