Asked By:hsyfelicia in Singapore, SG

I had my upper eyelid surgery doe 35 days ago, my right eyelid remains swelling like sausage, pinkish, itchy below eye brow I observed there is not much improvement during the latest 2 weeks. During local anesthetic surgery for this eye, I felt sharp pain for a few seconds, i screamed and thought my eyeball was being pulled out. I did not know what the surgeon did on me during that time. Is the operation considered failure?

Answer: First, I am so sorry your surgery was uncomfortable. It did not need to be.
