Patients are often concerned about getting a “cat-eyed” look after surgery. While you may appear tighter or pulled in the initial healing period, things will ultimately settle, and you will look “normal.” In cases of lower lid tightening (e.g., tarsal strip or canthopexy procedures), there will be some degree of change in the position of the lower lid — this is typically performed if the lower lid is weak or sagging, and the change can be demonstrated pre-operatively. In any event, the goal is to simply refresh your lids to where they were 10-15 years prior.
