Bulky Ear Cartilage Grafts Gone and No More Eyelid Webbing

WORTH IT
Below are my prior surgeries and what initially started my long journey. The reason I had surgery with Dr. Guy Massry and Dr. Raymond Douglas was to correct round eyes with outer webbing and I really hated the bulky ear cartilage in my lower lids. I've very pleased with the results. I do have some asymmetry and slight retraction in my left eye but have no regrets about this surgery. It was totally worth it. Hopefully it will last for years.
December 2004
Went to a Plastic Surgeon
Surgery Upper and Lower Blephoplasty with the incision on the outside of my lower eyelids. (Ask me why 95 percent of the time you should not get cut under the eye on the outside)
February 2005
Went to an Ocular Facial Plastic Surgeon
Surgery Canthopexy on both eyes (Ask me why 95 percent of the time you should not get a canthopexy to treat lower eyelid retractions)
Reason: Eyelid retraction
January 2010
Went to an Ocular Facial Plastic Surgeon
Surgery Thread lift to hold cheeks in place, ear cartilage grafts in the lower eyelids, and canthoplasty. (Ask me why a Thread lift is not a good idea and why to never get ear cartilage as an under the eye graft)
Reason: Eyelid retraction
November 2017
Went an Ocular Facial Plastic Surgeon - same Doctor as the last
Surgery Lateral canthal lengthening on right eye with 1 tarsal bite from the periosteum
Reason: Right outer corner eye bump and corner slightly pulling apart with webbing.
December 4, 2020 I had surgery with both doctors below.
Dr. Guy Massry & Dr. Raymond Douglas - LA
Dr Douglas performed orbital decompression. By pushing the eyelids back
it lengthen the canthal tendon and provided more skin under the eyes, which I needed. Dr. Massry then removed my spacer grafts, performed a mid face lift, lengthen canthal tendons and corrected outer corners of my eyes.
