I am not keen on eye surgery either but sceral show is srs. I was thinking they could inject the HA paste or some kind of filler instead?
Dr Y does something called a lateral canothepexy to tighten the tendons and remove excess skin. I’ve read of people having Botox injections to try and achieve a positive effect but I am not sure how successful it is.
I have always had a bit of white showing under my iris but it’s got worse as I’ve gotten older. I also use daily contact lenses and that may exacerbate it.
I’ll update the thread with anything I find.
HA 'paste' or granules for that matter is not injected. It is overlayed via a surgery for which there is an incision to do so. Radiesse, which is an injectable with HA particles suspended in a gel like matrix can be injected. But under the eye is NOT a good place for it to be injected. Under THICK tissue is better in the event there are lumps which would be less visible under thick tissue.
BOTOX is often used to reduce DYNAMIC wrinkles--like crows feet--aka 'smile lines' to the sides of eyes. NOT something you want to do if your objective is to SQUINT more. Why? Because the SAME muscles used for smiling are used to squint.
As to Dr. Y's cantho procedure, it would depend on whether or not your scleral show was attributable to lack of midface support in the orbital rim area. If that were the case, the cantho procedure would be done in conjunction with orbital rim implants WITH midface lift to suspend the soft tissue and hoist it upwards to attach to the implants.
