Small eye after blepharoplasty. What can I do to get my eye bigger again? (Photo)

Question

Hello. After a lower eyelid plastic surgery with fat distribution, my eye has become small and the eyelid has lost its shape. It is mostly visible from the front and when I look towards the nose. The eyelid goes over the iris. I have become more sunken and have more wrinkles and loose skin. What could have happened? Has too much fat been taken or is the muscle retractor affected? The eyelid does not follow when I look obliquely down the nose. What can I do to get my eye bigger again?

To make an assessment for any plastic surgery procedure we need to see a complete set of proper before and after pictures.
If you don’t have before and after pictures, then ask your surgeon to forward the pictures they took.
I don’t really see the need for concern of what the eyelid looks like in extreme gaze.
 Your pictures are not helpful to make an assessment.
Follow up with your provider and discuss your concerns with him or her.
Alternatively, schedule in person second opinion consultations with other providers in your community.
For second opinion consultations come prepared bringing with you a complete set of proper before and after pictures and a copy of your operative report.
These are all available from your current providers office if you request them.
 Best,
