Dear Intears:
With all due respect to my general plastic surgery colleagues on this forum, there is only one cosmetic surgery specialty with the largest body of experiencing fixing unsatisfactory eyelid surgery, and that is a fellowship-trained oculoplastic surgeon. This is an individual who is a board certified ophthalmologist, who has completed a fellowship approved by the American Society of Ophthalmic Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, and has been elected as a fellow to this society.
However, this is not sufficient. That surgeon also has to devote a significant portion of their practice to addressing and fixing unsatisfactory eyelid surgery. Unfortunately, there are only a handful of us who cater to addressing these issues. It may be necessary for you to travel to see one of us for an appropriate second opinion. Look for this level of training and don't simply accept the advice of a general plastic surgeon or a facial plastic surgeon. Unforunately, these types of problems do require this level of special attention.
Good luck with your search for the right specialist.
