Silicone Sling Material Visible Through the Foreheard Suture. 3rd Week Post Ptosis Surgery? (photo)
What is to be done my dr told me to come & see after a month .. but post 1st week surgery the sling material is pretty much seen coming out of the forehead suture .. should i leave it like that or should i hurry up to my dr & get it reduced asap ?? will another surgery be needed to be reduced it or not ?regarding my eye lid contour ? I think the nasal side of the eye lid is not properly approximated which gives a bad sigmoid shape will i be needing a re-surgery ?
