Will a graft and canthopexy help correct my Lower Eyelid Retraction?

November 7, 2021
Asked By:Jew9067 in Los Angeles, California

Hello, I had a consultation with a doctor and he suggested a graft and canthopexy to my right eye, and only canthopexy to my left eye. He agreed that I have a mild ptosis but suggested to correct the lower eyelid retraction alone first since it might improve the ptosis and open up the eye. Any other thoughts will be helpful. Thanks
