I seem to be the only person on earth who developed fat atrophy in my left eyelid, after receiving two shots of Kenalog for chalazions in said eyelid. I'm just heartbroken at the way I look now. The doctor told me there would be no side-effects except for a possible whitening of the skin, which I was not concerned about, since I am light-skinned. What happened instead is that my left eyelid is now asymmetrical to my right one and worse, it also has a droop. I have consulted an occuplastics surgeon who has just informed me that it's a permanent condition and the only way to fix it is reconstructive surgery, which will be difficult because of the size and delicacy of the location. In other words, it will never be the same as it once was. I really liked my eyes and if I had known that this was a possibility, I would have just left it all alone. It's disgusting that Kenalog is not used as a last measure. It's a very, very damaging drug that has serious side-effects. I have written the FDA.
