Dear Dr. Seckel, I had lower blepharoplasty in February 2006. There was asymmetry from the beginning-the left eye was rounded at the corner and the right eye more extended than the left. I wanted the left lid to extend outwards not upwards. The plastic surgeon performed a revision at 3 1/2 months post-op but there was no change in my lid position, only more scarring and a smaller eyehole. What procedure can be done to lower the lid position and prevent the corner from slanting upwards? Thank you, Susan, Seattle, WA
