Can Ectropion heal on its own? This was my third surgery. First procedure was bleph, then cyst, then scar tissue (Photo)

July 24, 2015
Asked By:my next journey in Orlando, FL

oculoplastic said he can remove the cyst under local anesthesia but had to abort because I felt every jab.excess scar tissue developed. Cyst is gone though. My TT PS said he can remove the scar tissue. BUT the end result ended in ectropion. The PS said he guarantees it will heal with cortisone over time. Can it heal on its own and does anyone thing it can ever be corrected? If so on its own or surgery. I need a good surgeon to correct . I am feeling hopeless!
