Asked By:mook61 in Rolla, Missouri

4 months post upper blepharoplasty..healing slowly due to history of underlying autoimmune disease. Had bumps form after resuturing of dehiscence that would not flatten out despite gentle massaging. Doc wanted to excise them in office but chose to first inject with Kenalog to see if they would resolve. Now I have a discolored spot as well near bumps. Is this permanent from steroid? Is there anything I can do to fix this? I'm so frustrated and depressed.
