I had lacrimal gland surgery and it only lasted a couple months. Should I try it again? Has the procedure improved? (photos)

Best to see an oculoplastic surgeon for evaluation. It is possible the previous surgery failed or it is possible there is something else going on. 

Lacrimal gland resuspension should have a longer-lasting result than that what you experienced. I would try to obtain the operative report from the original surgery to see what technique and what type of suture was used. I would suggest having a revision since you are young and so bothered by this. The condition will not improve on it's own and may worsen with time. Make sure to see an oculoplastic surgeon experienced in this type of procedure. Good luck!

Any time a lacrimal gland bulges it should be evaluated by an oculoplastic surgeon. Surgery to correct this involves suturing the lacrimal gland inside the orbit. Although the results should be permanent, sometimes problems can recur. I would talk to your surgeon and ask him or her why they think it came back. You may wish to have a CT scan of the orbits to make sure there isn't some other problem causing this to happen.

When the lacrimal glands come forward out of the eye socket (prolapse) they will need to be repositioned up underneath the brow bone. I have found that using non-absorbable sutures placed in a type of X pattern to support the gland has good long term results. See a local oculoplastic surgeon and share your concerns.
