Tightening the Outer Corners of the Eyes with Blepharoplasty?

January 13, 2009
Asked By:Page in Santa Barbara, CA

I am planning to have a face lift with both upper and lower blepaharoplasty. I have dry eyes which I am concerned with that may have been a result of a previous blepharoplasty. My eyes are big and they also somewhat pretrude slightly, but are not unsightly. My surgeon says that he can tighten the outer corners of my eyes during the blepharoplasty to prevent futher dryness. Is this possible, and if so, will I look different?
