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

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.

Because people sometimes post pictures reversed, I can't tell if this is your right or left side. On the side with the higher eyebrow, you have and innie eyelid. In contrast the other side with the lower eyebrow, you have an outie eyelid. This is the basis of a lot of your facial asymmetry. It...
