Asked By:mamarosa in Clermont, FL

I had an upper blepharoplasty done by an ophthalmologist two years ago. There was never much of a difference in the appearance. After one year, my eyelids have fallen again. I also have a tugging scar in the inner corner of one eye now. I understand that this can be revised or repeated, but who is the best to perform it? A plastic surgeon or ophthalmologist?
