Eyelid droop after eyelash irratation on eye

2023mikAug 1, 2023

Around 1 month ago I was having issues with my eye. It was watering, very sensitive & my eyelid was less open than usual. I went to see a specialist & they removed 3 ingrown eye lashes. Soon after this, the watering issues etc went away. My eyelid has opened up a bit more, but has not returned to how it was , making it slightly droopy , which was never like this before. Do you know why this could be? Or how long before eyelid returns to normal position..?

Other options besides surgery include fillers and laser resurfacing. Fillers would add additional volume to your tear trough and laser resurfacing would tighten the skin. In my hands I prefer surgery over fillers. Best to see an eyelid expert.

During the upper blepharoplasty procedure excess skin is removed from the upper eyelid. The direction of the scar excision at the lateral part of the eye affects the final scar appearance. In my practice, I design this incision to travel upward to avoid this type of scar. The orientation of the...

It is hard to give a true assessment based on the photos provided. If you're concerned that the left eyelid is lower than the right you might have a condition called ptosis. If this is the case you should be seen by an ocular plastic surgeon. If you don't have ptosis, I would advise that you...

The eye area needs significant combinations to get improvement. Lasers like erbium, co2, halo, profractional/contour, or Fraxel can all be used to build collagen long term. Plasma pen is a newer less invasive option but will take many treatments and require proper skincare. Plasma Pen is focused...
