I think I have ectropian,chemosis after surgery.I used steroid drops for ten days,artificial tears day time,lubricant eye gel or ointment bed time.I massage upward then outward everyday.No improvements, with disappointments it turned out fat granule and wrinkles.Eye shape is no longer oval.The doctor stated they were caused by swelling and It took time to heal.Will the chemosis finally go away and the eyelids go back to the proper position by itself after another two months?Please help!Thanks.
