Asked By:kirstin333 in Avon Park, Florida

Fifteen years ago I had a decompression. Surgery was done w/ incisions in my gums and I lost feeling in my 4 front upper teeth. On the upside, they looked perfect. Then after I got pregnant, My antibodies came back and I gained 50 lbs. When I got back to "normal", my eye had sunken in the orbit about 4 mm. My right eye protruded over 30 mm so much of the orbital floor was removed and scar tissue on my CT scan has fallen Into the sinus. . I have read about restylane, or is implant necessary?
