Following surgery there was a space between the eyeball and lateral canthus, plus the lower eyelid was lax and didn't hug the eyeball. The eyes were dry/irritating. I underwent bilateral canthopexy abroad. 2,5-3 weeks after surgery the laxity of the eyelid and the space between the eyeball and canthus are still the same: there is little difference. The eyes are still irritating/dry. I'm worried - difficult to get a response from the surgeon after I left his country. Will this improve with time?
