canthoplasty alone can also "retract“ the lower eyelid i read

THE PROCEDURE
There are various ways to surgically position the retracted eyelid in a more natural position. Often, a canthoplasty, which is a procedure that repositions and secures the outer corner of the eyelid, is performed. A spacer graft such as Alloderm may be placed inside the eyelid to replace lost volume. Sometimes a skin graft is necessary if any scarring is present.
