Round eye is a serious and dreaded complication of cosmetic surgery of the lower eyelids. It is a displacement of the lower eyelid due to an excessive removal of skin and muscle during the plastic surgery. It leads to a change in the shape of the palpebral opening which transforms the look and seriously impairs aesthetics. It also produces a blockage of the eyelid during blinking, in the upward gaze, during night occlusion, leading to discomfort with a sensation of dryness, burning and foreign bodies.
