Will a Lateral Canthopexy Change the Shape of the Eyes on a 45 Year Old? Has my Doctor over Tightened One Side? (photo)

aleaussi
7 days ago i had a lateral cantholpexy performed at the same time as rhinoplasty. We agreed to do a Lower Blepharoplasty to remove the bags under my eyes, but not a LC. My doctor assures me the shape will return to normal within 2-3 months. I am worried about perm. altering the shape of my eyes more asian/upward, which i do not want....and that he has overtightened one side? I really hope I am worrying for nothing? Can this procedure be adjusted if not?
