Ectropian and Retraction Post-Blepharoplasty...Temporary?

March 29, 2012
Asked By:Patches206 in Paoli, PA

I have just seen my PS for a 1 month post op check following a lower blepharoplasty. I raised my concern about a slight ectropian on the rims of both eyes. He somewhat dismissed it and had a wait and see attitude,and he did not offer me any advice on what I could do to help the situation. I am 55 years old and did have somewhat poor tone before surgery. I have no scleral show, but I do have a slight retraction in both eyes that have caused dry eye. Any thoughts?
