What can be done to fix a rounded lateral canthus? (Photo)

May 13, 2017
Asked By:Blef Leppard in Tucson, AZ

I had upper and lower bleph (transcutaneous) with canthopexy 2 1/2 years ago. The lateral canthus on both sides is rounded. Two questions: 1) Is this considered a canthal web, lateral shortening, or both? 2) what (if anything) can be done to fix this? I am more concerned about fixing the severe dry eye and lagophthalmos I suffer from each day rather than fixing it for cosmetic reasons. I also have a bit of lower lid retraction.
