Prolapsed lacrimal gland repositioning surgery - should I still be able to feel the gland when I touch where it was? (Photo)
rbvalentineApr 13, 2015
Recent surgery to reposition prolapsed lacrimal gland. Dr said she would tuck the gland back behind my brow bone and suture it to hold it in place. It has been 5 days since the surgery and still have a bit of swelling, but beneath the skin I feel/see a lump that seems to be the gland. Shouldn't the gland be tucked away where I can't feel it, or would swelling cause it to be visible/touchable for a while? The lump is just south of the brow bone, and part of it feels like it is on top of the bone
