Successful Lower Eyelid Retraction Repair with AlloDerm Spacer Grafts After Prior Blepharoplasty

After a lower eyelid blepharoplasty performed outside the U.S. resulted in visible subciliary scarring and lower eyelid retraction (worse on my right side), I sought out an experienced oculoplastic surgeon for revision. I ultimately chose Dr. Ray Taban, and I’m extremely satisfied with my outcome.

Dr. Taban recommended bilateral lower eyelid retraction repair with AlloDerm spacer grafts, with a more aggressive correction on the right side that included a small midface lift. Surgery was performed on September 25, 2025. I’m now just over five weeks post-op, and the improvement is significant—my lower lids are higher, more symmetric, and the prior scars are much less noticeable.

Dr. Taban was thorough, transparent, and highly knowledgeable, and his team was professional throughout the process. While the procedure was costly, the result was absolutely worth it. I would strongly recommend him to anyone dealing with eyelid retraction or complex revision surgery. I plan to post another update in a few months.
