Rounded eyes after eyelid surgery - is there anything that can be done? (photos)

Question

I had upper eye lid surgery along with a full face CO2 laser. Immediately after the surgery I could see that my eyeshape was rounded and one eye larger than the other. My eyes look and feel smaller. Is there anything that can be done for this and why did this happen?

For unique cases where a variety of modalities could be used to treat the condition, I would suggest an in person or virtual consultation to develop a custom and effective treatment plan.  It is difficult to precisely define the best option without collecting the same information. I suggest reaching out to an expert for a consultation with surgical and non-surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.

Hello! Thank you for your question.From this photos It is hard to make a proper evaluation. If you can provide photos with better lighting, from front of your face, from the side of your face and 1 meter away I would be able to make a proper evaluation. However, sometimes lower eyelid blepharoplasty surgery needs to be combined with cat eye surgery. After the healing process maybe I suggest cat eye for more slanted look for both eyes. Best Regards!

Based on these photos, it appears that on both eyes your canthal tendon is not holding lateral eyelid corners in correct position? Reconstruction of the tendon by means of lateral canthopexy may be a way to correct your current deformity. Hope this helps. Good luck.
