Lagophthalmos and hollow eyes after blepharoplasty - can this be corrected with a skin graft? (photos)

September 2, 2024
Asked By:ClaRo132d in Los Angeles, California, USA

I have had blepharoplasty in January. The result is very depressing. I can't close my left eye. During nights my eye is open and I need to tape and protect. Beside this, I suffer from Hollow-Eyes as too much fat has been removed, and no lid creases . Please, is there any help? Can it only be fixed by skin graft? And how would that work? My face lost its naturality. and I can't sleep. Thank you for help
