Lower blepharoplasty prolonged swelling. Is there anything that can help? (Photo)

Question

I had a lower blepharoplasty done almost 6 month ago, I developed a hardened area about black pepper size after 2 weeks inner corner of right eye which my doctor treated with little steroid injection and it helped but it's didn't go away completely. I also have prolonged swelling below underage area which is not going away. My doctor said it'll slowly go away with time. Is there anything that can help ?

Hello, I hope you are well! Your Dr did what was needed, maybe a few more steroid injections could help, I had a case like yours once and I treated it with steroids every 21 days like 3 or 4 times and it helped a lot, also the swelling will go away by itself, you can try maybe massaging the area with calendula cream and some icy pads, but be calm it will look better.
