My Eye Wont Shut Completely After Surgery?

Surgical scar will evolve and soften over a period of months. I would not consider revision surgery on anyone until the 3 month post operative visit, and sometimes even longer than that. So lets put to bed the idea that you need a skin graft right now. No need to get you more anxious than you already are.

First and foremost, this discussion should be had with your surgeon.

But to get you less anxious:  Things will improve with time. Massaging can help accelerate that process [Talk to your surgeon about the technique]. And in the meanwhile, lubricating ointment and drops will help keep your eyes more comfortable.

If after three months things are still bothering you, seek a second opinion.

 I would recommend consultation with an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastics surgeon. You can find one close to you on the ASOPRS dot org website.

Since you are only three weeks out of lower eyelid surgery, this condition generally resolves but not always. I would discuss with your surgeon about massaging the lower lid upwards and also the use of eye lubricants to keep the eye moist in the interim. Good luck.

The eyelid healing process after surgery undergoes various stages.  In the first stage (weeks), the eyelid is swollen and weak and may not close well.  Therefore, your eyes may close after this stage.  However, it may be possible that they won't close even after this peroid, caused by various factors including mechanical eyelid problem, weak muslce, etc.  You should consult an oculoplastic surgeon.
