Asked By:bettyboopmaui in Danville, California

Hello Drs, My whole adult life I had wanted an upper blepharoplasty. It seems like I was born with hooded eyes. As I got older it became worse. I finally had the procedure in April of 2023 and unfortunately walked away with asymmetric incision lines, a lower brow on one side and total dissatisfaction. It looks like one eye is swollen. Every day I look in the mirror and want to cry. I would like to know what can be done to repair this, any advice and suggestions are welcomed.
