Giant Papillary Conjunctivitis and Droopy Eyelids?

JN428Nov 15, 2012

Hello, I had GPC in one of my eyes and the lid has been droopy for about 3 weeks. From what I can tell, it looks like the GPC is cleared up, I've been treating it with Pred Forte. I'm afraid my eyelid might stay like this permanently. Is this a legitimate fear? I just had upper blepharoplasty done on my eyelids less than that a year ago.

You appear to have bilateral lower eyelid retraction.  That could be due to contracture/tightness in different layers of the lower eyelid and I cannot tell without examination.  Canthopexy or canthoplasty alone will NOT fix the problem.  See an oculoplastic surgeon.

  Eyelash loss after eyelid surgery is very unusual.  If the eyelashes were avulsed by tape of something such as that, they should grow back.  Latisse can be used to improve length and thickness, once the eyelids return to their growth phase.
