Is it difficult to correct webbing after a lower blepharoplasty? 1 year post op

December 7, 2022
Asked By:Thaithai in Newcastle Upon Tyne, GB

I have had a lower and upper blepharoplasty about 15 years ago, then I had my uppers done again about 4 years ago, but I had my lowers done again about 1year ago and because I had had them done previous the surgeon insisted on a hammock stitch at the outer corners of my eye, which has caused webbing! Especially on one side more than the other! He said he stitched the lower outer corner to the top lid! He said he would try to fix it with skin grafting if I like but, is this very successful?
