How many upper blepharoplasty can a person have? Is there a cap? Can I get second upper eyelid revision? (Photo)

You might benefit from a browlift as well. There is no true limit on the amount of surgeries done in an area as long as the surgery can be performed safely by a competent board certified plastic surgeon. I recommend finding a surgeon certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery. Ideally, one with experience in facial aesthetic surgery.

I don't see any excess fat in your upper lids and you may actually be one of the types that will hollow out even more as you age so I'd be careful about removing too much fat here. There IS cap in how much you can remove, which is can you close your eyes. If you can't close your eyes anymore, then you should stop. If you can still close your eyes even with soft eye closure, you could probalby handle a little more eskin removal. But I would be very careful about going to a really good surgeon.

Thank you for the question and photo. There isn't a cap on the number of blepharoplasty procedures, and we use the same incision each time so there isn't an additional scar. We can check in the office how much skin you have to prevent eye closure issues, which you indicated is a concern for you.

Providing that you have current skin folds removed it will expose your upper eyelid, globe and orbit and create very hollow appearance. What about placing some fat grafts in the area bellow orbital rim to reduce hollowness. That should be discussed with a board certified plastic surgeon with experience in this particular fat grafting technique. Good luck.

There is not a limit. However, each additional surgery comes with more scar tissue which makes it technically more difficult to do. Certainly, if you have had 2 failures then it is possible to do a 3rd surgery. The surgeon will examine you prior to determine how much excess skin to remove and allow your eyes to close completely.
