Asked By:Juniebug in Illinois City, IL

I had a lower bleph revision 4 days ago, first was 3 years ago. First bleph left me with big bags. Concerned new surgeon was too aggressive. Cant seem to get things right in the middle where I want them! Problem 1. Both eyes are retracting a small bit from the eyeball 2. The surgeon cut starting with my inner eye between the corner and the tear duct all the way out beyond corners. He did not explain the procedure this way. Will retraction get better with healing or do I face a 3rd procedure?
