I had an Eyelid Surgery revision on my upper eyelids 6 months ago, 6 months after the original procedure. One did well, but the other lid is noticeably larger and 'pouching' over the incision. It doesn't look red or infected. Scar tissue has also formed at the inner corner. Does this sound like something that will resolve with time? Would a small steroid shot help the scar tissue, and if so, at what point should I request this? Also, could the steroid adversely affect any other tissue around the eye? Thank you for your time.
If you feel at 6 months there is slight increase amount of skin over one eye, then it may be very easy for your surgeon to remove the excess skin in a small excision. For the area of red scar, an injection of corticosteroid or corticosteroid in combination with 5-fluorouracil can be very helpful - sometimes as few as 2 injections are helpful.
