Asked By:littlepig123 in Los Angeles, CA

This is my 2nd post; I had my lower blepharoplasty 7 weeks ago, and I developed ectropion; the surgeon tried to stitch from my mid face, failed; tried frost stitch, failed; he said the ectropion is due to scarring, so he offered steroid injection with another frost stitch or steroid injection only or surgically removing the scar and do a minor lift ( stitch eyelid up); I am just doing tapping, massaging and steroid eye drops now; what should I do? Is this really caused by scarring?
