Eye twitching after blepharoplasty. One eyes still has numbness. Any suggestions?

VillagerAug 13, 2015
This is a follow-up to my previous question. I forgot to mention that the eye having the twitching still has numbness along the lash line. The other eye has no twitching, and the numbness is almost completely gone. This was an upper blepharoplasty.

If you have eye misalignment, the best thing is to see a strabismus doctor or a neuro-ophthalmologist. An examination of your eyes needs to be done. Photographs evaluated by us only points towards cosmetic defects and if you have an eye misalignment it can be neurological.
