You should get a second opinion by an Oculoplastic surgeon before having further surgery. Each surgery adds additional scarring and can make future surgeries more difficult. If you need a revision, get the best procedure at this time. Your surgeon may be correct, but better to be safe than sorry.

In our practice we tell our patients to wait a few months to see final results.

Revisional eyelid surgery
You should wait at least 3 months before contemplating another eyelid surgery as healing takes months and changes can occur during that time. Consider seeing an oculoplastic surgeon.
