Hello. 2 weeks ago I had surgery to correct lower eyelid retraction with hard palate graft and tarsal strip After the surgery my eyes became very narrow and small. I had naturally large round eyes and even after the eyelid retraction appeared my eyes looked cute but now I feel very unattractive.Now my eyes are squinted all the time and give me an angry look even when I smile Is it possible to fix this or will it get better after few months?

Based on your photo and in my experience, a surgical procedure should be able to fix the issue.
Make sure to consult with an experimented board certified plastic surgeon.
Best of luck !
