Should I have dog ear from upper blepharoplasty removed or will it be worse? (photo)

Asked By:acc1979

I had an upper blepharoplasty two years when I was 43. My left eye has a dog ear that I dislike. It looks like a pimple and sticks out because it's a light color. The surgeon first said that the scar might look worse after removal. But then 6 months later said it would be ok to remove. I'm not sure what to do, and I can't find any examples of a before/after removal. Should I get it removed? I really dislike it but I don't want to make the area look worse. My other eye looks great. Thanks
