Generally eyelid surgery, upper and lower, is a once in a lifetime endeavor.  Redoing the lids is occasionally indicated but revisional surgery, especially with the lower lids, introduces more risk.  With the lower lid that risk is lid position.  Great care should be exercised by the plastic surgeon redoing lower eyelid surgery.

A lower blepharoplasty can be done usually no more than twice in a lifetime of a person because of the fear of changing the shape of the eyelids. The goal of lower blepharoplasty surgery is primarily to remove the fat pads and bags underneath the lower lids, and then if needed, to pinch a small portion of excess skin which is present at repose, not at animation.
