What is the best way to correct inferior scleral show/lower eyelid retraction?

August 13, 2017
Asked By:zsazsa_ in La Canada Flintridge, CA

I have an inherited shallow orbit and large, prominent eyes as well as negative vector/deficient midface. My eyes look oversized, sad, and tired. What are my options for correcting the appearance of my eyes? I have read that lower bleph can result in further retraction. My interest is solely to find something which supports my lower lids. Would addressing the cheeks help prop up the lids? I am 27 and eager to find a more permanent solution than fillers.
