Can Dog Ear on the Outer Corner of Eye from Bleph Heal on Its Own or Will I Need a Revision?

A dog ear can resolve on its own.  If it is a mild amount of residual skin, I recommend waiting three months to see if it resloves.  If still present beyond three months, it can be managed surgically by either removing more eyelid skin or doing a brow lift.  This can be a difficult decision and should be discussed with your surgeon.

Most skin irregularities will work themselves out within a few weeks to months after surgery. If your skin has lost a lot of its elasticity then it may take longer or fail to resolve on its own.

If it has not improved at all by 3 months after surgery or if it is not mostly gone by 6 months after surgery, it may require surgical revision, which is often a relatively simple procedure under local anesthesia. Other things like scar massage, steroid injections, and laser treatments can sometimes help so schedule another appointment with your surgeon to discuss your options.
