Detached canthi from eyeball: how can this be resolved? (photos)

November 1, 2016
Asked By:The Hours, Glass in Los Angeles, CA

After canthopexies with bone fixation in an inferior position I developed a space next to the eyeball (the canthi became detached from the eyeball), an additional skin pinch blepheroplasty made the lower lid retract. Six months ago I underwent canthopexy surgery to resolve, without any improvement: eyes look the same and are still as irritated, dry, itchy. The canthi seem positioned much more inferior than they originally were before any of the canthopexies: could this be the culprit?What to do?
