At any point during lower eyelid surgery do you need to 'cut any bone'? (Photos)

power87Apr 30, 2022
Hello guys Thanks for taking the time to read this and look at the pictures. So I had lower eyelid surgery done. My eye shape was completely fine I just had small amounts of bags under my eyes I wanted removing. During the procedure the surgeon kept mentioning how tough my “bone” was to get through. Having done my research it seems to me that this surgeon has now also cut my side tendon on the eye?, should I have cuts done far out to the side during this? Now my eyes are disproportional.
