How many upper blepharoplasty can a person have? I had an upper blepharoplasty in 2019 and one revision in 2022 already. I'm afraid there is a cap and I've exceeded my chances for a revision. I would like to remove excess skin and fat (especially on my right eye). Do I still have another chance for revision? My biggest fear is not being able to close my eyes completely.

Answer: Multiple upper blepharoplasties 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.

Answer: No limit 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.
