I've heard a side effect of blepharoplasty can include the shape of the eye changing. Is this true?
Answer: Its possible Thought the quick and dirty answer is yes, there are incredible subtleties to this question. Lower blepharoplasty has more of a possibility to change the shape of the eyelid [due to lower eyelid retraction], but these risks can be minimized by choosing the proper technique and meticulous precision. Your surgeon should have a discussion with you regarding these risks. Even in the most skilled of hands, risks of surgery cannot be completely eliminated.

Answer: Absolutely, positively. Done well this change of shape is amazing. However if the surgery pulls the corners of the eyes, the effect is very undesirable. It is essential to communicate with your potential surgeon and carefully understand what they are proposing so there are no surprises.

Answer: Can blepharoplasty change the shape of the eye? Aggressive and/or bad blepharoplasty can change the shape of the eye. If done conservatively using good techniques (such as transconjunctival for lower blepharoplasty), blepharoplasty can result in more youthful eyes without any stigmata of change in eye shape with surgical appearance. See an oculoplastic surgeon.
