Ectropion after lower eye surgery - can this be repaired?

August 22, 2022
Asked By:Lkj_ba in Irvine, California

I had upper and lower eye surgeries back in March 2022 and I am experiencing severe ectropian that is also irritating my eyes making them extremely teary at night. I already had Canthopexy done on both. Left eye was done twice and right eye where the pulling is prominent was repaired only once. It started putting down after 2 weeks of the procedure. Can this be repaired? Iif so, is it a matter of healing time or would another surgery be required?
