Occulofacial Surgeons: Revision Eye Shape Following Too Strong Lateral Pull Temple Lift: Possible?

January 13, 2012

Sept.2010 a temple lift was done with too strong lateral pull: the lashline moved too high in the eye, certainly the lateral part. Surgeon then attempted July 2011 to release temple skin + subperiosteal release canthus. My eyes lost horizontal length without further improvement. I'm left with slanted catlike 'horizontally shortened' eyes, lashline high in the eye particularly laterally. I get a lot of comments daily from strangers;what technical possibilities are there still to improve?Thankyou!
