11 months post-op - can you advise on untreated prolapsed lacrimal gland? (Photos)

sydney1424Jan 1, 2023
11 months post op. Incisions were made too high, not following the natural curvature. Now i have indented rolling scars that can't be hidden. Additionally, large divot is making things worse, what i suspect is prolapsed gland? Scars look better when i gently pull down excess skin at outer corners, but divot wont improve. Surgeon wants to cut using old incisions, i want to use my natural crease this time, gently tightening excess skin at outer corners while repositioning glands. Is this right?

However, sometimes the uneven contour of the lower lid following blepharoplasty and fat transposition is due to inflammation of the fat itself. If this is the case, an injection of a small volume of anti-inflammatory medication...
