Eye shape altered after chalazion removal - how can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

Hi I got my chalazion surgery about 7 months ago. After about a month I noticed that my eye shape changed. I had my chalazion located at the centre of my lash line and after the survey I noticed that my lash line became crooked and it lifted back. My lash line is no longer straight of aligned anymore. My eye looks more open now and I believe too much skin was removed because my eye does not close fully. My surgeon refuses to notice the difference

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

It is impossible to see the problem on these photos? Every scar placed along the eyelid edge will interrapt its continuity. Seven monts after surgery, your scar is still imature; it will continue to decrease in size and improve, the same with eyelid edge. Try to be patient and give it at least 1.5 years to settle. Hope this helps.
