Internal Eyelid Scarring After Lower Bleph-options?

August 3, 2013
Asked By:naturevssurgery in Salt Lake City, UT

Had transconjunctival lower bleph 4 months ago, no skin pinch. Prominent eyes. Severe internal scarring (can feel along lid). I now have lid retraction, scleral show, bulgy lids and roundness verses their original long, almond shape. I have been massaging, squinting, pushing upwards and given a steroid injection 1 month ago-no change. Doctor wants more injections but I'm afraid of side effects. He says can surgically "just release scar tissue." Is it that simple? Steroids ok? Revision imminent?
