How many upper eyelid revisions can you have? (Photo)

Question

I've had an upper blepharoplasty and two revisions. Can I ever get another upper eyelid revision, or is it the end for me because of the scar tissue? My original surgery was to fix my hooded eyelids, but the surgeon changed my parallel folds to tapered. I had 2 revisions to fix it. I would like to increase the height of my creases because they are lower than my original. Not sure if it's no longer an option for me since I had 2 revisions. What are the risks? Please advise. Thanks.

There is no limit to the number of surgeries you can do.  It is important for your potential surgeon to have the reports of the procedures done and ideally photos.  You must be clear in your expectations, and communicate them well with your surgeon.  It is important to be able to close your eye, and to not hollow out the upper lid too much .  A careful exam is needed in person with an experienced surgeon.
