Kenalog injection to lower lids 2 months after lower blepharoplasty. Heard Dr. request a "conservative" dosage. (photo)

pekkle
My ps gave me a kenalog injection under each eye last week for my 2-mth followup. He had suggested it earlier in my 2-wk f/u because I still had swelling. I'm a bit nervous now after reading a bit on steroid injections to lower lids. So far a week after injection I'm not seeing much if any changes on the right puffier eyelid. I noticed this morning a thin red line on my left lid. I'm so worried now about tissue atrophy and indent. Will steroid continue to affect my lower lids for up to a month?
