8 days after lower bleph. Stitch in the outer corners of the eye (not sure of the correct term maybe canthopexy?) has caused the corners of my eyes to be hidden or tucked under my upper lids. It makes my upper lids look a bit pulled down and has created creases at the sides of both eyes. Can this be tweaked?

Answer: Corners of my eyes are hidden below upper lids after lower blepharoplasty creating an undesirable look? Thank you for sharing your question and photograph. Due to your lower blepharoplasty and canthopexy you are having soft tissue swelling to the corners of your eyes that is resulting in this hooded appearance. As your tissues continue to heal you should see steady improvement in appearance until this overhang no long occurs. I know waiting is difficult but allow a few more weeks to pass to see visible improvement.

Answer: Eyelid appearance after canthopexy At only 8 days following an eyelid surgery it is common to see this effect. The purpose of the canthopexy is to provide additional support for the lower lid and usually a slight overcorrection is performed which will relax over a few weeks. Combine this with expected post operative swelling and that explains the change in appearance you are seeing. This will go away with a bit more time.
