How common is entropion after lower blepharoplasty done from outside the eyelid?

Asked By:heythequickness in Los Angeles, California

I have a lower bleph and skin pinch scheduled in December and will get it done subciliary meaning the incision will be on the outside, just under the eyelash instead of inside. I will be awake with local anesthetic. I was reading about subciliary being common reason for lower eyelid ectopion, or sagging of the lid, post op. This is because the surgeon has to cut through skin and muscle instead of just skin. How common is this post subciliary lower bleph? Is ectopion repairable without surgery?
