I am 47 and 12 days ago had transconj bleph, with skin pinch and canthopexy (I think as left side undone 7 days later) w/mid face fat transfer. 1My left eye is smaller it was my big one 2Scleral show on right eye and lid not as tight on lateral portion 3hollowing is this due to cheek/lid swelling?

I chose this method to best avoid eye/eyelid change
