How Long Until Lower Eyelid Relaxes After Canthoplasty with Enduragen Graft?

May 22, 2013
Asked By:cphil24 in Boston, MA

26 year old male here. I am one month to the day post-op from canthoplasty/eyelid reconstruction with Enduragen Graft for mild (severe enough for me) eyelid retraction and scleral show on my lower right eyelid. Surgery was performed in LA by a very trained oculoplastic surgeon. It's been 4 weeks, yet the eyelid is still significantly overcorrected, raised very high compared to the left one and quite slanted. Is this normal?How long will it take for the lid to settle? Or, should it have by now?

Answer: I recommend waiting at least 2 more months before deciding that this might need to be revised.
