How safe is canthoplasty, upper eyelid surgery and lower retraction at a young age?

June 7, 2017
Asked By:slick_21 in Los Angeles, CA

I'm 23. I have ptosis of the upper eyelid. I want this corrected. I also want canthoplasty as my eyes tilt down too far, there is a bell curve look to them. I have a netural canthal tilt however. It also seems that once both those procedures are done, I would need a lower retraction to straighten the bottom eyelid. How safe is it? How reliable is it? I don't want to revise this surgery 10 years later.
