I am now almost 6 weeks out from upper and lower Blepharoplasty. Scar tissue has formed under my lower right eyelid and I have been doing the massages for 2 weeks. My Dr. has given me the option of injecting steroids to dissolve this unsightly bulge. Has anyone had this done and what were your results?
I did an upper blepharoplasty slightly more than one month ago (Surgery dated 19/5/2015) keloid like scars seems to form at the inner eyelid. I've consulted 3 doctors so far where 2 of them concluded that I can only smoothen the keloid scarring through laser. It has slightly flattened and less reddish after I went for a steroid injection (Triamcinolone) but the itching is back. Please help!
3 months post lower bleph, & still visibly swollen under one eye. The doctor -- a highly rated oculoplastic surgeon is recommending a steroid/hylenex injection to the area to improve swelling, and a series of RF o tighten skin. I'm very nervous about hylenex as so many people report here that it's left them hollow, with less natural HA, and there's a lot of negative reviews of RF for diminishing facial fat. Im already thin and dont want to lose volume.
I had a lower blepheroplasty with fat repositioning completed. At the 3-4 week mark, the results were perfect with a smooth contour. I went for drinks that weekend and the next morning the bags appeared to return, which I just thought was swelling from the alcohol. But 6 months post surgery and the bags remain. Overall, there is definitely an improvement in the hollow area compared to before surgery. But the bag that returned is annoying. What are my options? Could steroid injections help?
I had a lower bleph done 8/25 and i noticed my lower eyelid is lower than it was before. I saw my doctor last week and he gave me steroid injections at the corner scar areas and told me to massage the lower lid like crazy. Will this work to get my almond shape back or am i doomed and need a retraction surgery??!! ughhhh
Doctor recommended that I should let him inject a small steroid shot into the puffy/ baggy part of my right eye. He thinks it's old filler. Should we do a small about of hylenex? & Should I let him inject a small about of steroid in there? Or just fill around the bag? Thank you.
I have this ugly, large Chalazion on my eye. I have had it for 6 months. I am also 7 months pregnant. My options are: 1. Either do a Kenalog 10 shot, but my opthalmologist says it may or may not work ----also, is Kenalog 10 on the eyelid safe for pregnancy???? 2. Have a local anesthetic and remove the Chalazion. But is this safe for pregnancy? Maybe it's better to do the shot first and see if I get any results? Thanks!
This is my 2nd post; I had my lower blepharoplasty 7 weeks ago, and I developed ectropion; the surgeon tried to stitch from my mid face, failed; tried frost stitch, failed; he said the ectropion is due to scarring, so he offered steroid injection with another frost stitch or steroid injection only or surgically removing the scar and do a minor lift ( stitch eyelid up); I am just doing tapping, massaging and steroid eye drops now; what should I do? Is this really caused by scarring?
Lower eye blepharoplasty 3 weeks ago. Concerned about retraction, swelling & puckering. Should I take an oral antihistamine or using steroid/antihistamine type drops to help with swelling. Surgeon said he isn't worried & to continue with after care protocol of cold compresses 2 x day, Retaline individual dry eye relief drops, Systane night time eye lubricant & ointment on incisions. Next follow up in 3 weeks.
I had surgery to remove the bags under eyes. One of the eyes still has some scar tissue. and a small bag. The surgery was done 11 months ago. The surgeon recently injected a steroid in to the area. Is there something else I can do to reduce the bag/bump? I m a male so make up is not an option.
