Possible to Push Eyeball Back During a Blepharoplasty?

Pushing on an eyeball will not cause it to be asymmetric.

However, surgery on the lower eyelid can either bring out an existing asymmetry (the more forward set eyeball will appear even more forward set if the same procedure on the lower eyelid is done on each side without compensating for the existing asymmetry.

It is possible to camouflage orbital dystopia of this type by selective cheeklifts.

The eyelid position should not move after routine lower lid blepharoplasty.  If too much fat was removed, it is possible for that eye to move backwards.  More likely, asymmetery seen after lower lid blepharoplasty can be the result of :

Preexisting asymmetry not detected by patient (look at before pictures)

Asymmetric removal of fat or skin

Photographs would be very helpful to understand what you are now experiencing after blepharoplasty.  It sounds like you are telling us that after eyelid surgery, your left eyelid is more ptotic or droopy after eyelid surgery.  This is a relatively common problem after eyelid surgery.  Your current eyelid surgeon may or may not be able to help address this concern.  However, one thing is for sure.  Your surgeon will be highly motivated to make you happy. I would recommend bringing your concern to the attention of your surgeon and getting their recommendations.  If necessary, consider a second opinion.

You are noticing asymmetry after Blepharoplasty which is not uncommon.  Some of the asymmetries can cause your eyes to look like one eye is more sunken or protruding then the other.  Alternatively, you may actually have one eye more sunken or protruding. Your surgeon should be able to address these issues.  If you are seeking another opinion, be ready to provide pre-operative photos and undergo a full examination. 

During routine blepharoplasty, it is not possible to change the position of the eyeball in the front-to-back dimension. If you are noticing this, it is either because the change in lid shape or size makes it look like that, or you had a pre-existing difference that you did not notice. Reviewing these issues with your surgeon should help.

More than likely you had some asymmetry prior to surgery. Sometimes surgeons gently push on the eyeball to see the herniated fat.

It is not likely that pressure on the eye affected the position of the eyeball. More likely, there has been unequal scar formation in the eyelid skin, asymmetric fat removal, or pre-existing but unnoticed upper eyelid droop.

I suggest you meet with your surgeon to discuss your concerns. Ask for a second opinion to be assured of the cause and treatment options for your eye.
 

Your statement that your eye were even before surgery need evaluation by looking at the before pictures. Every person has some asymmetry and in some cases they become more noticeable after surgery. Pictures would help.

Good Afternoon,

By removing too much fat, the eyeball can be pushed back.  I would suggest following up with your surgeon regarding this matter.

Your eye did not get pushed in during surgery.  Sometimes the eye can seem sunken in if the eyelids on that side are closer together than on the opposite side.  It is more likely that the "sunken in" eye has an upper lid lower than the other eye or lower lid higher than the other eye.  You should discuss your concerns with your surgeon; there may be a surgical solution.
