Why did the corner of left eye change in size/shape as if pulled inwards and downwards after revision double eyelid?

Asked By:Need_a_Good_Doc in Burbank, CA

I had revision double eyelid 3x w/ same doc. Not only are my eyes still asymmetrical, inner corner of L eye now pulls inwards & downwards as if stretched out. Now L eye is longer than R. eye. Doc. first said it was like that before, which is NOT true. See before pics. L inner used to be rounder & not as long. Then, he said he doesn't know why it happened. The inner eye doesn't just stretch out. It looks abnormal & it changed BECAUSE of surgery. What did this doctor do & how can this be fixed?
