However, it is far too early to consider revisional surgery. Your best hope to make this right is to find the right surgeon for the revision. The crease is too high. The shape of the upper eyelid is not right. It also appears that the lateral canthus is disinserted. This issues need to be addressed. Generally these eyelids benefit from healing before the revision is performed. Commonly I will schedule a revision approximately 6 months after the failed surgery. Occasionally these are done earlier depending on the clinical circumstances.
