Surgeon to Correct Eyelid Surgery Mistakes?

I had a blepharoplasty 11 months ago, together with a face lift. I did it in Mexico but with a craniofacial surgeon who works also in a Texas respectable clinic. The face lift was good but the eye operation still left me noticeable bags under the eyes, especially the right one, and sagging skin on top with folds that extend on the outer corner of my left eye. I am now 56 and have a good skin. I want to have another operation to correct this.

I need to know what kind of specialist should I go to, I need to have it really soon because I am a teacher and will do it during my summer vacation.

Who is best to redo eyelid surgery?

I would recommend an oculoplastic surgeon in the case of revision surgery. The eyelids have many different tissue planes that get completely changed with surgery. A second surgery is always more difficult and you want someone who trained specifically in eyelid and orbital surgery for this kind of job.
