Should I see ophthalmologist or oculoplastic? Will micro-needling help with a white scar? (Photos)

Asked By:Loving8268 in New York, NY

I’m in 30s, I had upper bleph 1yr ago. 6m post-op I developed dry eye (right around when I saw white scar appearing), sensitivity to light, discomfort, pinching pain. Never had issues with dry eyes, not wearing glasses/contacts. I went back to my surgeon but he said I’m healing slow - should I get 2nd opinion? Further, seems like there is hollowness in the inner upper corners. Would fillers help, and will they tighten the skin even more (I don’t have much left)? What about white scar, any recommendations?
