Asked By:Genius35949 in Berlin, Thüringen, Deutschland
6.5 months ago I had surgery on the lower eyelid: muscle shortening, fat removed medially and centrally and redistributed, cantopexy on the temple. In the surgical report it says cantopexy periosteum, in the information sheet it says muscular+periosteum. Have scleral show, ptosis, still swollen. Massaged lower parts since 2 weeks post-op, the eyelids have become sensitive and warm. After chewing, the temple pulls strongly and bulges like a walnut. Can you say something about my case? Thank you!
