Can revision surgery correct cut muscles? (Photo)

Asked By:Menomom8 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada

I had lower blepharoplasty done over 1 yr ago. Discussed to remove ONLY skin via transcutaneous incision. I was concerned with intense swelling after 1 mth, 2 mths... Surgeon said all was normal. At 4 mths, I got a 2nd opinion from reknowned opticoplastician who told me my pretarsal muscle looked partly removed and nothing could be done. Apparently this is a common mtechnique muscle and skin flap technique but all it did for me was create bulgy lower eyelids and shatter my smile. Help!
