Is it normal to have lagophthalmos 2 weeks after eye revision surgery??

This is a private comment.

[@앙요밍] No it's still the same

Maybe it's because you had lateral canthoplasty or lower canthoplasty...?

[@쩨리리리리] Do you think so..? I didn't have excision or ptosis correction

[@재수술늪] Oh no You must be so worried about the lagophthalmos Have you contacted the hospital??

Yeah, mine didn't close well around week 2 either..

[@이뻐지고싶다12] When did it get better for you?

Just in case, you should go to the clinic quickly.... If it's just swelling and stuff, then waiting is right, but if there's a functional problem, going back to the clinic is the right thing to do I'm worried your vision might get worse...

[@잘모르겠슨] Thank youㅜㅜㅡI'll wait a bit more and ask the clinic

I think it would be good to go to the clinic.

It gradually gets better as time passes Mine was like that too It's only been 2 weeks so far

[@미니쿠페] Yeah They said to wait and see for 3 months

It took me two months. When washing my face, water would get into my eyes, and after about a month it got a lot better, but the point where I wondered, "Do they close completely?" was after two months… Did you perhaps have ptosis correction? Use lots of artificial tears, and if the dryness is severe, it's also okay to go to an ophthalmologist and get a prescription. Definitely go see an ophthalmologist at least once.

[@orangepainter] I didn’t have skin excision or ptosis correction I’m living with artificial tears every day, sob

[@재수술늪] Then they’ll probably close… Wait a little longer…

I saw on Naver blogs that some people said their eyes closed after one or two months!

Did you do upper eyelid revision together with lateral/lower canthoplasty?? Lower canthoplasty may also be one of the causes of eyes not closing

Are you a bit better now? I’m now at week two, and my lagophthalmos is also severe

I’m also a little over a week after surgery now, and I’m the same as the poster I’m so worried that I’m only searching for reviews.. How are you now?

[@용용채] I still have lagophthalmos even now Day 31 after surgery

I also developed lagophthalmos after revision surgery, and it hasn’t disappeared even after years My dry eye is severe, so I’m considering revision surgery.. Still, if it’s only 2 weeks, try waiting a few more months!

[@glowly] How severe is your lagophthalmos?

[@앙요밍] It’s probably more likely to happen if you have revision surgery. I heard it can happen when a lot of skin is excised or when there’s overcorrection! The issue is whether it disappears later or not
