Hello. 2 weeks ago I had surgery to correct lower eyelid retraction with hard palate graft and cantoplasty. 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 and I hate my eyes now. Now my eyes are squinted all the time and give me an angry look even when I smile Is it possible to fix this and return my eyes to their natural shape and make them open again?
