Asked By:victoria1980 in Benalmádena, Andalucía, Spain

Can anything be done to get my eyelid back to its natural shape so my eyes look the same? I am very self concious and would like my eyes to look the same. I feel like the surgery and scar tissue has pulled the lid up slightly. I have spent many weeks massaging and putting heat on the eyelid with no change. Help
