Too Much Fat Removed During Lower Bleph - What Options Do I Have Now?

February 4, 2011
Asked By:2426anon in NJ

I had lower bleph and too much fat was removed, so the left lower eyelid hangs 1 mm too low with scleral show. I went through 2 failed canthopexy revisions with my PS to attempt to tighten the eyelid. Then I went to an oculoplastic surgeon who performed another canthopexy and said I didn’t need a graft, but this didn’t work. Tightening won’t raise the lower eyelid, as it does not have enough fat to support it. Taping it hasn’t helped. Should I try AlloDerm, fat graft, or Restylane?
