Hello After lower blepharoplasty and canthopexy, my lower eyelid drooped, my eyes became very dry and there was a very noticeable scar under my left eye. I talked to two doctors, but their opinions on how to solve this problem are different. The first doctor suggested placing a spacer graft and cutting off the scars, and the second one said that this could be solved with skin grafts and canthoplasty. What will actually help me solve the problem?
