Re. Canthal Webbing after upper eye lid surgery. (photo)

June 24, 2014
Asked By:Dodds in Spain, ES

I got an infected stitch in my left eye which took 10 days to heal. Now I´m left with extreme webbing which I have been massaging with Dermatix. It´s brought some results but is also irritating the lumpy scar above the corner of the eye. Should I carry on massaging nevertheless or should I leave it to settle down on its own? I´m 6 and a half weeks post op. Will my eye ever be normal again?
