Swollen eyelid 3 years after eyelid surgery? (photos)

April 19, 2022
Asked By:Eclectic89423 in Lewisville, Texas

Hello, I had my eyelid surgery done 3 years ago and there is a lump on my eye. It’s more swollen and puffy than the left eye. I’ve visited optometrist to check if it was a chalazion or even allergy related (I’ve taken anti allergy medication) and it appears to still be swollen. Is there anything I can do going forward to fix this correction?

The whole point you went for cosmetic surgery was for aesthetic reason. If this bump is creating you problem you can have it removed. Its very minor problem, your surgeon can get it removed under local anesthesia in 2-3 min time.
