Will A Lateral Canthopexy Correct an Anti Mongoloid Downward Slant. Or is a Lateral Canthoplasty Needed Instead? (photo)

Asked By:PollyBeak in Portugal, Oporto

Also can a lateral canthopexy alone reshape the eye to a slightly more almond shape? PS did a lateral canthopexy and my eyes look exactly as before:sad,tired.My ps only tightened the lid margins but the donward slant is still there.I have mild symptoms of Treacher Collins and i feel bad about it i also think in my case it's not a question of trying to look exotic,eye reshaping would help a lot.How can i change my ps opinion?Seeing another ps tomorrow.Opinions needed.Thanks in advance
