Would Eyelid Height Worsen During Mullerectomy Recovery Period?

September 22, 2011
Asked By:luoqingyuan in Washington DC, DC

I had mullerectomy 8 days ago and I was able to see the results a day after the surgery. Unfortunately, while I was asleep 2 days ago, I accidently rubbed my operated eye and felt pain right away. I was more swollen the next morning and the lid drooped to the before surgery position. The swelling went down after I used ice but the lid did not go up. I went to see my surgeon and he said the stitches did not break. Did my rub damage the healing tissues therefore compromise the results permanently?
