I don't like the shape of my eyes. is there anything i can do? Is it too much skin have been removed or is this acceptable for Lower Blep? The eye lid behind the eye lashes also look "exposed". When i smile there is a 'bag' just below my eye lid. According to my doctor, she dismiss that as the muscle and not eye bag. However, i feel that it look more prominent now than before. I went for the surgery with the impression that is part of the eye bag as the actual bag below is not really big.

Answer: Lower Blepharoplasty Thank you for sharing your question and photos. I'm sorry that you are unhappy with your results after lower blepharoplasty. The shape of your eyelids have changed because you have a small amount of lid retraction. This causes rounding of the tendon that holds your eyelid in place. Luckily, the condition can be treated and fixed by an eyelid specialist. Consider a consultation with a board certified oculoplastic surgeon to discuss your condition and goals. Good luck!

Answer: Bigger eyes after eye surgery Surgery on the lower eyelids will always have scar tissue as part of the healing process and therefore the lower eyelid may end up in a lower position, called ectropion, that can make the eyes look bigger and even cause tearing and dryness of the eyes. In the immediate post operative period (first weeks to months) this can be combatted with aggressive massage of the lids to prevent and fight scar. You are 6 months out so the scar has likely settled already and the lids are now in their new position. If you would like this fixed, see your surgeon about a canthopexy. Good luck.
