Thank you for your question and picture.The answer is yes but you should now wait.  It will heal.  If there is a residual divid type of defect in 1-3 months, a plastic surgeon would be able to excise the defect as a wedge excision and close in layers, carefully approximating (i.e. bringing together) the edges for a smooth lid margin.  It is crucial to align the lid for cosmetic reason, same as we do with nostrils and lips.Hope this helps.Kind regards, Dr. Marc DuPere, Aesthetic Plastic Surgeon
