Why do many women have smaller eyes after a facelift?

Depending on the laxity of the skin of the lower eyelids it is not uncommon for a surgeon to perform a procedure called a canthoplasty or canthopexy, which can temporarily give the eyes a smaller appearance. With time however, the normal eye shape should return which usually takes about 2-6 weeks.

Thanks for sharing.  A facelift will not change the shape of the eyes so it should not be a concern.  Brow lifting and eyelid lifting and midface lifting can potentially change the eyelid shape so you may want to ask if these were also performed in the photos you are reviewing.  Best of luck

Neither a facelift nor ultherapy will alter the shape of the eyes.  This would only be accomplished with some form of eyelid surgery.  If you are concerned about alterations to the shape of your eyes, convey this information to your Surgeon and be very careful about having any form of blepharoplasty.  Choose the Surgeon whose results you like, whose description and manner impresses you, and where the staff make you feel like you will be well treated.
