What Procedure Will Best Fix Lower Lid Retraction from Skin Pinch Incision?

lala5
I am now 4 months post op from lower blepharoplasty with a skin pinch incision that left me with ectropion / retracted lower lids. What procedure best fixes my problem -- canthopexy or canthoplasty with cheek lift? Would restylane help boost my lids up or will I need surgery? Also, seems most oculoplastic surgeons who specialize in such repairs are in CA. Any recs for Chicago doctors who routinely fix this issue? I can't risk another failed surgery so would travel to the best. Many thanks.
