Can blepharoplasty change the shape of the eye?

Thank you for your question.When well done, no, the shape of your eye should not change.  When not done well, when it is over done, or when there is abnormal scarring, yes, blepharoplasty can alter the aperture and shape of the eye.



To be sure what might work for you, see two or more board
certified and experienced plastic surgeons in your area for a full and complete
evaluation.



I hope this helps.

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.
