Is 10 months post blepharoplasty, is it too late for 5FU injections?

abeparn
I have lower eyelid retraction from a blepharoplasty from 10 months ago. I saw a few surgeons around the 6-7 month mark and there was some retraction but it has gotten worse over the past 3 months. From what I understand I'm borderline in terms of the need for reconstructive surgery. Would 5FU injections or any other non-surgical methods potentially help keep me above the line for needing reconstruction? If so are there any providers recommendations for the NJ/Philadelphia area?
