My eyes have a sharp outer pinch making them look slanted as smaller. Both eyes look different and didn’t have that problem. All I wanted was some lower skin remover but my doctor suggested this will be the best method. Is there anything I can do to restore the natural cotour to normal again.

Answer: Post lower lid surgery You had some scleral show in the before photos. Most patients do not want this appearance, and if a lower lid surgery is done, the lid can actually end up lower if some sort of tightening is not done at the same time. When this is done the shape of the eye will change and become more almond shaped.In the early post-op photos your eye does look too small. However as the healing continues, the eye is becoming more open, and the lid height is actually pretty good. It would be hard to do a revision that would make your eyelid look like it did before. I would wait at this point as it seems that with time your eye is looking more open and may soon be acceptable to you.

Answer: Lateral canthoplasty/canthopexy: I had surgery 4 months ago. I’m concerned my eyelids have lost their natural contour. I agree with the others that your surgeon has accomplished a very natural and satisfactory result. I'm hopeful that with time and some tissue relaxation you'll agree that this has provided a very nice improvement. Best wishes,Jon A. Perlman, M.D. FACS
