Can you fix the shape of your eyes (go back to your old almond shape) once you have had eye lid surgery?

May 4, 2014

I recently had eye lid surgery to correct some droopy eye lids. Before surgery I had somewhat almond shaped eyes, I am not of Asian or of ethnic decent. Now my outside corners of my eyes are pulled down and have changed my eye shape to a rounder more stern shape. I almost look sad all the time. What can I do to go back to my old shape. It seems to me to be just a small tuck adjustment on the corners to lift them a little, but, my Dr. said he can not fix them. What options do I have?

Answer: Reshaping of the aperture of the eye after blepharoplasty will require another operation.
