Hi - I’m incredibly sorry you are dealing with this complication. Did the surgeon ever provide a hypothesis as to why this complication occurred? I have read that high blood pressure or the use of blood thinners can increase risk. Were any of these present in your case. I ask as I have a lower bleph scheduled for May.
How is your healing going?
I hope you are well on your way to healing

@jenn7172 I do have HBP but it is and was under control. I was seen by a hematologist who thought perhaps it was all my supplements that contain vit E...Qunol, AREDS-2, Multi Vit. I have been advised to stop all that and a few other meds before subsequent surgery. I am not on blood thinners, nor have I ever been. It really is a mystery becaue all the above hematologist reasons are totally hypothetical. I am healing but will need another surgery to make my eyes as symmetrical as possible. I wish you the best in your eye surgery in May. This pic is my healing up till now. A lower bleph is a totally different procedure than an upper bleph. Hope yours goes well...which odds are it will. My risk was 0.05% and I was the unlucky on!Regards,
