Updated photo 2012.07.19, 8 months after revision. The distinct asymmetry still exists and at times is even more pronounced depending on time of day, weather, and how I'm feeling. I've also noticed that my left eyelid (larger of the two) feels like its pulling up tighter than before and constantly find myself pulling down on it to loosen the skin. I feel that I've become even more self-conscious; often I catch my reflection and immediately notice the asymmetry and how awkward I look. Suffice to say, I am disheartened.
I initially searched for second opinions back in January with most of the surgeons advising to give it a little bit more time, however, one stated that it did appear that too much might have been cut out and if I wanted it to to match the other eyelid I might want to consider fat grafting. I am scheduling a visit with another surgeon who seems to have extensive occulofasical and blepharoplasty experience. I may also see Dr. Byun again just to hear what he has to say. I truly wished I had seen Dr. Meronk before he tired as everything I've read on him was exactly the kind of experience I needed to correct this.
