Is it possible to have infraorbital rim implants after eyelid retraction repair?

LG18Dec 15, 2022
Hi, I had eyelid retraction repair through canthoplasty and graft. I’m happy with the results, but would now also like infraorbital rim implants. However, I understand that these implants are inserted through the eyelid and require another canthoplasty. Is this possible considering the operation I’ve already had? Or would it ruin the good results of the retraction repair? Thanks

You have a difficult problem and may need lower eyelid retraction surgery. It is important to have proper evaluation and discussion by an expert.

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

You have severe lower eyelid retraction. You probably need skin grafting. Also massage and anti scar injections can help.
