oculoplastic said he can remove the cyst under local anesthesia but had to abort because I felt every jab.excess scar tissue developed. Cyst is gone though. My TT PS said he can remove the scar tissue. BUT the end result ended in ectropion. The PS said he guarantees it will heal with cortisone over time. Can it heal on its own and does anyone thing it can ever be corrected? If so on its own or surgery. I need a good surgeon to correct . I am feeling hopeless!

Answer: Spontaneous correction of ectropion Thank you for your picture. I'm so sorry to hear about your issues. Ectropion can be treated early with steroid injections and tissue massage. If after three months this has not resolved the issue in surgery should be considered for correction. There are many methods for surgical correction based on the diagnosed reason the ectropion.

Answer: Can ectropion heal on its own? I can't tell from the photo you provided the magnitude of the problem. Have some one take a straight photo of your eyes because selfies tend to be angled and distorted. You probably have a mild degree of lid retraction which is milder than an ectropion. My advice is to massage this area upward and support the lid with adhesive tape or steristrips until the scar tissue softens. In addition to steroids there are other injections that can be performed to soften the scar tissue as well. Surgery is indicated when the lid does't go back to it's normal position especially when it starts causing tearing and dry eyes. I won't rush into surgical correction right away.
