Getting Depressed. Please Advise. Need Help With Bleph Scarring? (photo)

jlg1Sep 17, 2013
I am 55 years old. I am 4 weeks 1 day post op from extended bleph. The Dr. told me to put vitamin e on it at 3 weeks post op. The vitamin E oil I bought was not a pure E and caused even more problems. I do not see my Dr. again until December. Should I seek a dermatologist for help with this? At this time I am told to put vaseline on it. I am really becoming depressed. If anything it is getting worse, and not better.

I have been performing Restylane injections to the upper lids for several years now.  It is one of the most gratifying treatments for this area.  It is fast to undergo with minimal swelling and bruising.  The cost runs around $600 and lasts about 1 year.

You have facial/eyelid asymmetry along with right upper eyelid ptosis (droopiness). There are surgical and nonsurgical options available to improve your eyelid asymmetry. See an oculoplastic surgeon for proper evaluation.
