Seeing the photos below at 7 weeks, I am hoping to get this repaired sooner than later. I have the greatest respect for my surgeon but unfortunately I was the one that for some reason healed poorly. I just wanted to do one thing for myself. The webbing is uncomfortable and effects my vision. Hoping for Zplasty sooner than later. Hoping after another 6 weeks I can move forward w/repair I'm just so concerned. Thank you very much for your advice and comments. I feel nausious from it daily.

Answer: Eyelid surgery Hi,I recommend visiting with an oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your surgical options AND timing. Furthermore, (without assigning blame to anyone) I am not sure the webbing is from "poor healing." Best,Mehdi Sina, MD

Answer: Webbing after blepharoplasty In my opinion, you do not have to wait another day to have this repaired. It is clearly not something that will resolve on its own. Additionally, I don't believe that Z-plasty is the only way to correct it. Opening the incision, removal of the band of scar tissue, intra-operative assessment of the skin (is this lack of skin or bunching of skin?), and closure with inert, non-absorbable sutures might be all you need. Multiple factors lead to webbing - retained suture, inflammation, lack of proper closure. Please see an experienced oculoplastic surgeon to have this repaired. You don't have to wait! Best wishes.
