I have dog ears after my Blepharoplasty and It has been over 1 year. Should I ask for a revision? (Photos)

Asked By:LadywQuestions in Beverly Hills, FL

I am 13 months post op and have excess skin around my upper eyelid incision. Can you tell if this is hypertrophy or if the surgeon left more excess skin than necessary? My surgeon suggests steroid injections to reduce the fat which he says will also end up reducing some of the skin. I'm not sure if I should move forward with the suggested steroid injections or ask for a revision. What are the risks with both? (I've attached old photos weeks after surgery as well as a photo of how it looks today)
