Eyes WATERING plz answer questions below
Since teenage I got watering/tear droping problem in both eyes, with many different doctors and their treatments like drops, specks etc (with on improvement)
At latest, a doctor consulted that I have some 'Centurion Syndrome' and she explained me what it is, also I searched on internet as well. She said that she can perform a surgery between my eyebrows which will release the skin, resulting the Puntas/Canals opening will come closer to eye which will suck the water from eyes.
-ALSO, doc said that the wider opening of puntas needs to be done which she said she'll also do.
My question here is,
1)How much do I have to spend for all this including the surgery? (APPROXIMATELY)
2)After surgery, watering problem will solve for permanently? (She said the watering may come again years after surgery)
3)With every treatment their are risks, What are the risks if I go with this?
By answering this you'll let my confused brain relax, well atleast for some time. Thank You Sir/Madam in advance

Well Centurion syndrome is an anatomical issue that is not very simplistic to treat.
Treatment would vary depending on
1. Severity of symptoms
2. Degree of anatomical abnormality
3. Whether your tear drainage pathway is normal and patent
4. Realistic expectations from the doctor as well as patient's side.
Next Steps
If you have established trust with your doctor (assuming you must have consulted an Oculoplasty surgeon/Ophthalmic plastic surgeon) you both should have a sit down and decide how to proceed with this.
when it comes to Oculoplasty surgeries, there will be variation in pricing from each surgery and patient because often the surgery is customized to the need of the patient and inherent problem.
Health Tips
Resolution of watering cannot be guaranteed. So your surgeon has given you correct expectations most certainly. Though a sincere attempt can be made to try and achieve that.
