Asian Eyelid Surgery - blink muscle damage or over excised skin? Incomplete closure. My surgeon won't respond. (Photo)

Asked By:optimisticeyes in Toronto, ON

I am 2 months post asian eyelid + epicanthoplasty. My eyes won't close completely at night and my blink is incomplete. Eyes are very dry and irritated. Can't wear contact lens :( My optometrist has prescribed Restasis, drops and ointments to protect my eyes. Closure has improved a little since last month, but still worrying. My surgeon keeps dismissing my concerns & says it will resolve. No doctors are willing to refer me to an Oculoplastic surgeon for 2nd opinion. Pls help. Photos for reference.
