Is Revision Surgery Possible to Reduce Large Eyelids After Levator Resection Ptosis Surgery? (photo)

I had upper blepharoplasty with supratarsal fixation 8 weeks ago as well as lower eyelid with canthopexy. The crease was set at 8mm and I had levator resection ptosis surgery. I am very unhappy and feel I have unnatural results with an overdone look. Is there a revision surgery that can be done to reduce my upper lids and make me look more like my old self? My surgeon says this is my final result. I hate looking in the mirror.

Hollow upper lids...

Looking at your photos, I notice a couple of things. First, your preop photo shows full eyelids/brow, which is actually a sign of youth.

Hollow upper eyelids

Your upper eyelids and brow are too hollow. Filler injection, rather than surgery, is a better solution for you. See an oculoplastic specialist.

Wow. I am truly shocked a doctor suggested all those eye surgeries for you, there is no way you needed any more than what the 1st doctor said, if that. These eyelid surgeries leave many people unhappy - and to be honest it's easy to see why. I hope u can fix this problem
