Asked By:grammyof3 in Santa Teresa, NM

I had a lower eyelid bletharoplasty 3 weeks ago today, still dealing with chemosis in right eye. It's very irritating. I have been on oral steroid, eye drop steroids, Tobradex and Lotemax, also using warm compresses Hoping this will go away soon as it is pushing down on the corner of my eyelid. I've heard from my PS and Ophthalmologist that it will go away on its own, but is there anything else I can do or take to speed that along?
