Nikki The reality is that well meaning surgeons can create profound harm to your appearance and sense of well being by these seemingly simple procedures.

A lateral canthoplasty is likely the best method to achieve a more almond shaped appearance to the eye.
Nikki, Be careful what you wish for. You might miss your old eyes if you don't get your desired look. Technically to make a rounded eye look more almond shaped a lateral canthoplasty is maybe enough if you have laxity or looseness of your lower eyelids and lateral canthal tendon. If you do not have enough laxity you would need to get support of the lower eyelid by performing a soof lift with a possible spacer graft. That will raise the lower lid into a higher position, the angle is then reformed. So It depends what you are presenting with. Good luck Dr. Schwarcz

Dear A McMillen This is a not so uncommon situation. I was able to help a woman with severe facial paralysis following the resection of an acoustic neuroma from the brain stem. She had numerous canthoplasties without success. I was able to make a significant difference for her with a surgery...
When was your surgery and for what reason? Had you had previous blepharoplasty surgery that developed complications? Waiting is your best bet as many structures loosen with time. Canthoplasty is designed to enhance lower lid support and decrease the risk of exposure to your cornea, etc. It...
