Can surgery fix my eye that looks smaller & lower following car crash & surgery?

RealSelfMember3948Jun 10, 2023
I was in a car crash 2 months ago where I had 2 fractured jaws. My eye at the time got lower than my other eye looking like it was falling. It was very noticeable and under my eye looked very hollow. A month after, a couple of weeks ago, I got surgery and it changed my eye shape. My eye now looks smaller and lower and I was wondering if I could get surgery to fix it back to how it used to look before the accident. It’s been very difficult for me to be around people and in social events

An upper and lower lid blepharoplasty can significantly rejuvenation your eyes. The upper removes excess skin and the lower, via a transconjunctival approach removes some skin and fat. A lateral brow lift would also be nice.

Hi there, I would reccomend another upper blepharoplasty. You should see a board certified plastic surgeon for consultation and an in-person eye examination to be sure you are a good candidate. Best of luck!

As we age, our eyelids naturally sag and droop. A combination approach would be best to see visible improvement. In terms of non-surgical treatment options, I would recommend a Chemical Brow Lift (using Botox, Dysport, Xeomin, or Jeuveau) and filler injections to rejuvenate the temples, eyebrow,...
