Ectropion after blepharoplasty of left eye. Will this resolve on its own? (Photo)

kato25
Just over one month since surgery. There is an odd feeling of tightness of the lower lid a the location of the ectropion; its almost as if there is something attached (internally) that is preventing the lid from coming up and closing properly at that specific spot. If massage is necessary, can you please explain how to do it properly. I have scoured the internet but have found very little on how to do it and how long I should do it. Many thanks in advance!
