Thin skin with a fold - is it possible to get rid of this? (Photo)

Question

Hello! I just wonder if you know if it’s possible to get rid of this extra skin on my eyelid? I have done an upper bleph but it didn’t disappear. Does the doctor has to stretch that specific thin skin even more? Thanks

In order to be able to close your eyelids, you have to have skin redundancy in your upper eyelids with your eyes open.
Have someone take a picture of your upper eyelids with your eyes closed and you’ll see that they’re probably isn’t very much skin redundancy.
To make an assessment regarding the outcome of any plastic surgery procedure we generally need to see a complete set of proper before and after picture.
If you don’t have before, and after pictures and ask your surgeon to forward, the pictures they took.
Best,
