Droopy eyelid 1 week after chalazion removal! Is this permanent especially that I had ptosis surgery last year? (Photo)

Asked By:Ali_Nar in Los Angeles, CA

I had chalazion in my left eyelid for two weeks before having it removed one week ago. It is still droopy although that the eyelid doesn't look swollen anymore. What makes me more concerned is that I had ptosis surgery more than one year ago, and I'm afraid that the nature of my eyelid are weeker than normal eyes which makes it easily droopy again even after removing the chalazion. My eye look even worse than before the ptosis surgery last year and I'm really freaking out.

Answer: I would have recommended injecting the chalazia with kenalog rather than a chalazia surgery.
