Hard Nodule in Upper Eyelid After Surgical Excision of Silicone Filler Lump. Is It Dangerous to Have a Revision? (photo)

I had a surgical excision of silicone filler that migrated from my cheekbones to my upper eyelid, forming visible nodules. 7 months post-op I'm noticing another hard nodule in the corner of my eyelid. No results after steroid shots. My surgeon told me it was remains of the filler, and recommended a revision. another surgeon said it would be dangerous to re-operate in that area,suggested asking an oculoplastic surgeon. Is it dangerous? please recommend a skillful oculoplastic surgeon I can travel.

Upper Eyelid Nodule

I personally am not convinced that your nodule is from silicone injections. When injected properly, silicone does not migrate and does not form hard visible nodules on the skin. I recommend you consult with an expert in the use of silicone to assess exactly what is going on with your eyelid before you have any other doctor re-operate.
