I'm 6 weeks post op eyelid surgery and my doc flipped my eyelid. Will it damage my results?

The doctor flipping your eyelid should not have caused any damage to your aesthetic surgery.  If you have concerns visit with your plastic surgeon for a re-evaluation.

Hi there, this is very difficult to comment on. But generally speaking, if one of my patients mentioned this to me at this point, assuming everything was healing normally. I would not worry. But you should discuss this with your surgeon. 

Six weeks after eyelid surgery, the incision are well-healed. The risk of damage is minimal, however, it would be wise to discuss any post-surgical treatments with your primary plastic surgeon.

Thanks for your question. It is unlikely that flipping your eyelid would cause any permanent damage to your result.  

Did you have upper or lower eyelid surgery? How well had you healed at 6 weeks? How aggressively were the lids flipped? Was there any separation of the wound edges? Have you spoken with your cosmetic surgeon? You presented to your ophthalmologist for dry eyes. He needed to examine you; otherwise, you could have just called him with the problem. Dry eyes can be a very serious problem and cause corneal damage and blindness if left untreated. You may have had dry eyes due to incomplete eye closure, or lacrimal gland concussion and your doctor was going through the necessary maneuvers to diagnose the problem. Have you noticed a problem since the "flipping" incident? if not, then its highly unlikely that you will develop a problem attributable to the incident in the future. Consult your cosmetic surgeon with your cosmetic concerns and your Ophthalmologist with your dry eyes (a bigger concern).

It is unlikely that this will cause any negative impact on your results.  In 1st week or two maybe, but not likely at 6 weeks.  Best wishes.

I doubt having your eyelid examined at this point will have any impact on your result. It is possible to have dry eyes after eyelid surgery. This is usually a temporary. You might consider an eye moisturizing drops. Best of luck!

I would need to see a photograph, however after six weeks of healing it should not be a problem.  If you have a concern, see your plastic surgeonfor a follow up appointment.
