Does a canthopexy leave an incision scar at the outer corner of eyes?

Asked By:AA2C in 30062 - Marietta, GA

I received a consultation for lower blepharoplasty revision. After the original fat removal, the skin under my eyes became saggy and loose making me look older. I consulted with a board certified plastic surgeon whose specialty is oculoplastic surgery. He suggested revision with canthopexy to address loose skin and scleral show. He noted I would have an incision under both lash lines and an incision at the outer corner of each eye. It worries me that I'd have scars at the corners, is this typical?
