If the eye is taped correctly ( I am not sure it is), how often should I re-tape , because steri-strips are pretty tough? Anything I could do to reduce tearing and irritation? I am using a lubricant eye gel. When should I consider a revision, and could you please recommend a good oculoplastic surgeon in Washington DC for such a revision (lower lid).

Answer: I would recommend giving this a chance to heal!
I know you do not feel like this will ever get better, but it is amazing how things can improve with a little time. Generally if you do need revisional surgery, this decision should be make 6 to 12 months after the original surgery. The American Society for Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery maintains a geographic website that can help you find oculoplastic surgeons in your area (asoprs dot org). Please understand that post aesthetic lower eyelid surgery is specialized and not every oculoplastic surgeon offers this type of service.

Answer: Keep taping. Be patient. Stay in touch with your doctor.
In most cases this problem will resolve in a fairly short time (a few weeks or months). Stay in contact with your surgeon to help manage the problem.
