Why does one eye slant down and have weak bone projection? (Photo)

November 29, 2014
Asked By:twentytwo22 in New York, NY

My right eye is not only shorter than my left, but slants downward as well, making the inner corner appear higher than the outer. Is there some kind of bone-like implant to make the two halves of my face symmetrical? When I spoke to a surgeon in my hometown he suggested canthoplasty but I'm not too sure if that's best. Please help!
