6 months post op - Eyes too small after lower bleph - can this be fixed? (Photos)

Question

I had a lower bleph with fat transfer over 6 months ago. Both eyes appear smaller/beady but the right slightly smaller and the lower lid is tight. Also a gap in outer corner. Can this be fixed? Doc suggests canthopexy.

Eric M. Joseph, MD · Answer

Based on your photos, your eyes don’t look too small, and there are no stigmata of previous blepharoplasty. Consider leaving all to heal for another 6 months. Thank you. Sincerely, Dr Joseph

Thank you for your inquiry! Keep an open communication with your plastic surgeon regarding your concerns. If you're unhappy with your results then we would be available to see you in person to evaluate and discuss revision options. Schedule a consultation with a Board-Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals!

Thank you for posting your question here !My answer will be based on the limited information and pictures provided , for a more detailed and bespoke plan please consult with your surgeon in person .It is hard to address your question accurately without knowing exactly what was done in your surgery, if your surgeon used absorbable sutures during your canthopexy then the sutures will likely relax with time , but even if your surgeon used permanent sutures I wouldn't stress , a canthopexy can be revised , I would encourage you to discuss the situation with your surgeon so that they can come up with a plan that will work for you.I hope this helps, best of luck!
