I have cat eye look following a facelift. Are my eyes permanently reduced to this shape and size?

Asked By:Poppy223 in Baltimore, MD

I have a deep plane face lift 11 days ago. I decided not to have a brow lift but agreed to removing excess skin under lower eyes that would bunch from the procedure (I have Sjogrens). After surgery, doctor said it was necessary to preform a mid face lift too. I look pulled and am hoping the high cheeks will subside over time. It's my eyes that make for a worst look! Stitches in corner of eyes will not be removed until this week. If eyes do not open, can they be opened surgically?
