I did double blepharoplasty upper eyelid lift, but did a correction/ enhancement for the left one because it still drooped after surgery. It looked ok at first, but after three dates, it seems to have drooped again. Is the asymmetry something to worry or give it some time?

Asymmetry after double eyelid surgery

As you might surmise from the answers already posted there is great variation in the cost of liposuction.

Give it some time

Asymmetry is common after double eyelid blepharoplasty but is avoidable by doing repeated measuring during the procedure.

You have to give it some time and not do anything until the healing has taken place. If you do something during this healing phase it could make it look even more asymmetric in the long run. I would wait at least 3-6 mos... more
