Overcorrection duriong lower eyelid surgery is common. Give it time to soften

Otto Joseph Placik, MD answers: Pulled out outer eye corner after Brow lift

I had multiple procedures done 25 days ago: Brow lift, Mid-face lift and Fat transfer to lower eye lids. The surgeon shaped my eye during the Brow lift to a more almond shape. The outer corners are still pulling and more is shown than just the eye. This looks very troubling and my vision is a bit blurred. Is this really normal and when can I expect the eyes to be normal, so that only the eye is showing? Thank you.

Clearly the best person to answer your questions is the surgeon whom you selected and trusted to perform the procedure. There are a number of different techniques and healing can vary tremendously. Usually most of the overcorrection you describe will tend it ease and resolve withing 3 weeks but it can last longer.
