Excessive Skin Removal and Lower Lid Not Approximated After Lower Bleph. Does Skin Grow Back?

May 11, 2013
Asked By:CARLY52

Too much skin was removed during a lower blepharoplasty. I have an ectropion and rolling of lid away from eye that starts at the middle of lid to outside corner. Lower lid seems longer. I'm guessing corners were not approximated during surgery. I am 2 months post op. I was told to wait and lid will work its way up. Is this true?? I didnt think skin grew back once it was gone. I am probably short a few millimeters. I massage it, tape it, and do the index finger push up in the corner.
