Ectropion or lower lid retraction after blepharoplasty? (photos)

March 14, 2016
Asked By:crynge in Sugar Land, TX

The outer most corner of my lower left eyelid doesn't sit flat against my eye since my blepharoplasty. Also, I seem to be seeing a lot more of my lower rims now and my eyes are constantly red. I don't suffer much irritation anymore, my chemosis has gone down with the consistent use of artificial tears but water does get in my eyes when I wash my face even with my eyes closed. Do I have ectroprion and/or lower lid retraction? Is this likely to fix itself? I'm two weeks post-op.
