Asked By:josh19 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia

9 mos ago had transc SOOF lift bleph w/ canthopexy. Upper creases look thicker & unnatural. Is that because lateral canthal disposition? Skype w/ 2 oculoplast both suggested MFL, spacer (alloderm/HPG), canthoplasty. Is the result permanent? Other idea gorotex orbital implant to take the weight of cheek but there is late infection risk. Is it true? How about skin graft, is the result more permanent? Confused, just want to regain my eye function and appearance. Willing to travel, even to US.
