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.
Answer: Endoscopic Browlift Candidate Dear Chi.girl1972, Personally, if you came into my office I probably would have suggested an endoscopic brow lift to help bring symmetry to the brow area, lift the brow and mid face region. You would still be a candidate for this procedure however I would suggest waiting some time for the healing of your previous surgery and then seek further consultation. To see photographs of before and afters of endoscopic brow lift and how this procedure can be beneficial to patients with your same concerns you can click the web link below and go to brow lifts. All of the brow lifts on my website have been done with an endoscopic technique and it is a procedure that helps allow a natural looking appearance, no visible incisions, a speedy recovery while turning back the signs of aging. Best regards, Michael V. Elam, M.D.

Answer: Eyes The midface lift does exactly that, lifts the malar/cheek area upward. It relieved pull on the lower lid. In your case you are noticing smaller eyes when you smile. You look famtastic however I understand your concern. The round/oval shape of your eye has been replaced with a more angular. Tissues will setlle with time. Don't worry but I get your concerns. Be patients. If you feel the change is too dramatic you have options. Check with your surgeon if you can start massage. You do have a great result!
