I had surgery at Strax over 2 years ago. I now suffer from debilitating pain. I've gone to many different doctors since. One said I needed a canthopexy and cheek-lift, and perhaps some skin grafting to resolve my problem. As a result of the surgery, the outer corners of my eyes are pulling down. A few stated that my lids were malpositioned. The last one said I had blepharitis, Could a canthopexy and cheek-lift possibly alleviate some of the misery I'm in, even with having blepharitis?

Answer: Reparative Procedure for Blepharoplasty I'm very sorry you have had these problems, and you need to realize that the reparative procedures recommended are quite aggressive but likely indicated. I strongly suggest you find a surgeon with whom you feel very comfortable.

Answer: Lid malposition after lower blepharoplasty
It's clear that you have lower lid malposition and mild eversion of lid margin. The best evaluation is an in person examination where the skin laxity, lower lid muscle dynamics and scar tissue can be assessed. The revision is based on identifying the source of the problem. Your original surgeon may have the best insight to the source of the problem. In general if you have adequate tissue then canthopexy may be enough. Cheek lift may add additional soft tissue support. If on exam you have a shortage of skin or internal tissue, then skin graft or spacer graft may be necessary. Try to identify the source of the problem then the solution will become more straightforward.
