I had incision double eyelid surgery 5 months ago. Now my eye is swelling off and on. When it swells it gets very itchy and irritated. I don't know what to do. My incision is not comfortable and feels tight. What should I do? Can I go for a revision if this condition? My surgeon is not responding, please help
