Did my upper Eyelid Surgery result in blocked oil glands & blepharitis, will it be chronic or eventually resolve itself? photo

I had a face lift and upper eyelid surgery about 2 1/2 years ago. I have been happy with the results up until about a year ago. The problem began when I started getting sties. Over the last year the sties healed but have resulted in blocked oil glands and blepharitis. My eyelids are both swollen. Now I can't wear makeup and I feel really bad about my appearance. I have seen several ophthalmologists for treatment but it won't go away. I do the eyelid scrub and warm compresses every day.
