I have lower lid droop on one side 6 weeks after. My doctor is on vacation for another week. I just recently got tape from drugstore to try. Is it too late to tape? Or is it worth a try?

Answer: Eyelid Taping Thank you for your question. Lid retraction is a common side effect of lower eyelid surgery. Taping your eyelids for support at night is very helpful. Lid massage up and out is also helpful. FInally, applying lubricating eye ointment at night and drops during the day will help keep your eyes moist and decrease inflammation which can make the lid retraction worse. Try these steps and see your surgeon upon his return. Best wishes.

Answer: It is not too late. try the tape until your doctor is returned from vacation. there are other alternative treatment that can help with this issue, including steroid injection and massaging the eyelid. make sure to see your doctor.
