as ive gotten older suffered bells palsy at age 15 luckly my godmother was a nurse at a hospital and got me a blood test and treatment asap, so no drooping, our anything after, but my left eye muscle was damaged to the degree it will close all the way when smiling, now that im 49 the over prodcution of tears from the eye is now causing skin pain underneat my skin is black due to as we al no tears are salty, so the salty content i guess is why it causes burning to my skin, and therefore looks like i have a black eye, i moisturize the skin with a cream that also has Argan oil normally i use this its intent purpose, feet, elows, etc, but the production is now bwcoming very overly producive and it cause me to constanlty wipe my eye no matter if im eating ,chewing , even coversating, so im wondering if the small surgical procedure would work for me both ways yes im haing puffy eye when i awake so yes over the years there has been signific ant changes as iam older, a freind had it done years back i left it alone, my brother, and his son both had to hae the surgery done due to the fact over time the eye was waited down and stayed closed, insurance company paid for surgery, ive worked in the field for 19 years, most of the patient's had reached that stage, is this something i would have to wait for as well?
