SWELLING ON THE LEFT CORNER OF MY EYES

[sameerapatel]

Hi everybody, I am 24 years old and got a swelling on the left corner of both my eyes. I had undergone a surgery as the surgeon had advised that the lacrimal gland has moved from its place. Post the surgery the said swelling has not completely removed. I still have a swelling on both the left corners of my eyes. The said swelling has affected the shape of my eyes.

I don't understand how can I completely remove the swelling...the swelling is immense if I cry or sleep less.....I have already undergone a surgery twice...Kindly advice...

I can't answer your question.  You have several opinions.  It is important to know that medical treatment and surgery cannot be guaranteed and also that some conditions cannot be cured or made "normal"

That is all I can say.

Dear Doctor Hagan,

I have consulted few more doctors who have advised one more surgery. But even they are not confident enough to rectify it completely.

The said problem was not since birth. It has developed at the age of 14.

Is there any other remedy available except a surgery coz the surgery had led to marks on my upper eyelid which is accentuating the said swelling.

This problem does not lend itself to offering explanations as these problems are exceedingly unique. My suggestion would be to get a second opinion from another eye surgeon.
