Is it possible to restore the almond shape of my eyes lost after upper and lower bleph 5 years ago? (Photo)

GenVo
Though I told my surgeon I didn't want the shape of my eyes to be changed, he made an upper incision that extended out and down from the outer corner of each eye. Now, instead of almon-shaped, my eyes look shortened and rounded; much more of my eyelid shows than did before, especially toward the outer corners. Two ocular plastic surgeons have suggested ptosis surgery to lift the lids so that less lid shows. A third plastic surgeon insists that ptosis surgery won't help, and is too risky. Advice?
