Eyes Can Change: Eyes can change shape after blepharoplasty. In the old days this was much more common. The lower eyelid is probably the most common reason for eyelid shape changes. The lower eyelid is like a hammock, eventually the support weakens and the lower eyelid begins to droop. In these patients who have some weakness to the lower eyelid, a tightening procedure is often performed at the same time.

Sometimes: Depends on each case. See a facial plastic surgeon for advice.
