Im over 3 weeks post double blepharoplasty with fat graft. One eye healed great, the other bruised and swelled significantly. The bruising is subsiding, and as the swelling went down I noticed the eye drooped to the pink part of my eye showing. I am performing massage and have it taped with medical adhesive 24/7 but there is little to no improvement. Ive been in contact with my provider who says to be patient but would feel reassured with a 2nd opinion At what point do I seek further assistance?

Answer: Ectropion after blepharoplasty Ectropion following lower eyelid blepharoplasty is uncommon but can occur. It can be temporary and related to swelling. The first method of treatment is exactly what you've mentioned with massage, taping and patience. This can correct minor ectropions and improve lid position.

Answer: Eye lid surgery answers With a lower lid ectropion it is important to have close follow up with the plastic surgeon so that they can make sure all the conservative measures are being taken to resolve the ectropion and to protect the eye. The plastic surgeon would want to make sure you are closing your eye to protect the cornea so you do not have ulceration.
