Eyes much smaller after midface lift through a lower eye approach. Can anything be done to fix this? (Photo)

chi.girl1972
I had a midfacelift through a lower eye approach in April. The doc was going to do a lateral canthotomy ended up having to do a lateral canthoplasty in order to suspend the tissues. Now, my eyes are smaller and slitlike when I smile. Can anything be done to fix this? I'm about four months out of my surgery.
