Can a canthopexy be redone? (photo)

Asked By:Mom21and2 in Simpsonville, SC

I had a lower blephroplasty with a canthopexy 8 weeks ago. I developed mild lower lid retraction. My surgeon said that if the retraction does resolve with massage, the next step would be a canthoplasty. I do not want this proceedure. Can the canthopexy be redone?
