Asked By:cynthia c. in Tampa, FL

My right eyelid is oddly shaped. It was re-operated on two months after surgery because of scar issue retracted the eyelash line into a peak. But now I have a peak in the eyelid. It is very tight o the eyelid and sticks to my eyeball all day causing pain. Dr. put plugs in saying that dry eye is the problem. There is no improvement. The original surgery was oddly sewn from the beginning and I questioned Dr. about it. Dr. claims I have an almost perfect result. I do not agree. What can I do?
