Scleral Show with NEGATIVE Vector, Longevity of Canthopexy/Plasty? (photo)

January 6, 2013
Asked By:canthopexy in England, United Kingdom

I'm 19, & have 3.2-3.5 mm significant inferior scleral show. Never had surgery. UK Oculoplast realised I have negative vector & possible Euryblepharon – correct? Pushing cheeks up didn't impact sclera; she thought cheek lift unnecessary, & hard palate graft w/ canthoplasty best, but would only improve scleral show by 2mm, & lid retraction possible. If cheek lift was combined with a canthopexy/plasty and graft (like Madame Butterfly), could I remove all scleral show? Any other solutions?
