If it was done by: an eye plastics doctor (oculoplastic surgeon) then you may not need any further repair. If it's disfiguring, then you must see an oculoplastics surgeon to have it revised for best cosmesis. Most important is that you can see out of the eye, and that you have full function and corneal protection and lubrication. The rest is easy to fix. Have patience. You have time and youth on your side.

Surgery consult...: Consult with a facial plastic surgeon and/or an ophthalmic surgeon. They would be able to see the area of concern and recommend appropriate action.
