just remembered that my doctor said that he normally does another surgery for of issue and it sounded like this lateral canthal surgery . however he said that after examining me i was a very bad candidate for it.sth about my skin being extremely elastic and not healing injuries well. also i visited 3 surgeons who examined me before i had surgery. none said anything about a mid face issue . any way i still wish to know generally speaking does the notch generally get healed on its own?
