Can lateral canthoplasty be reversed?

chi.girl1972
I had lateral canthoplasty as part of a midface lift in April 2015. I've been left with persistent chemosis and my eyes are smaller. It was done because I had too much scleral show. I still have it. Can the lateral canthoplasty be reversed without causing permanet damage or further lower lid lag? The eye shape change has made me look weird. If so, when can it be done?
