Lower eyelid surgery ruined my eye shape. Is there anyway to repair the damages? (photos)

September 9, 2019
Asked By:miron39 in Independence, Kansas

I had lower eyelid surgery thinking it would keep the eye shape I currently have but make everything bigger but instead it completely changed my eye shape and I hate my result now. Is there anyway to get my old eye shape back? There is severely asymmetry with the eye shapes as well. I did a lower and lateral canthoplasty in Korea and would do anything to get my old eye shape back. Is this hopeless or is there anything I can do?

Answer: The lateral canthoplasty performed in Korea is different than what surgeons are familiar with in North America.
