Can I Make my Eyes More Almond Shaped After Upper Blepharoplasty Has Made Them a Bit Too Round? (photo)

I had upper bleph a year ago. I am happy with one eye,but the other one has a bit of a 'rounded look' that also kind of droops down at the outer corner (eyes look more un-even in pics than real life - its not really a concern) I have uploaded some before photos so you can see my almond shaped eyes before bleph and then post surgery.Do you think I should do anything to correct this? I feel like I always have to wear eyeliner. Also I am considering a lower bleph and poss a cheek lift or fillers?

You analysis is correct.  The left lateral canthal angle is disinserted.  This causes the eye to look smaller.  A lateral canthoplasty not a canthopexy is what you need.  The canthoplasty is an open canthal reconstruction that reattaches the lateral limb of the eyelids to the...

Doing the Thermage after your eyelid surgery will likely be fine, but unfortunately no surgeon can guarantee that. This is a risk that you must be willing to take. It is a low risk...but a risk nonetheless. Good luck
