Stye scar tissue and misaligned lash line, please advise if corrective surgery can restore it? (photo)

November 8, 2017
Asked By:renujean in Beverly Hills, CA

I developed two styes about 4 years ago, one grew on the inner corner of my right eye lid, the other one was on the outer corner of the left. After popping the left one within the 2nd day, my parents forced me to see a GP about my right one. After about another 2 days of using hot compress, no squeezing and rest, the right stye went away. But not completely and now I'm left with what appears to be scarred tissue on the right side and it's making my inner lashes point downwards and inwards.
