2 years post blepharoplasty, what can be done about left over excess skin? (photo)

Aguy544924
I’ve had a blepharoplasty (and a revision surgery) to correct ptosis in one eye. Now, nearly 2 years since both surgeries, it has left me with an extra skin fold. The scar itself seems to cause the skin above to fold over. I’ve asked my surgeon and she said to keep massaging it and there is no further surgical or non-surgical action I can take. However, another surgeon said I need another blepharoplasty to cut the excess skin out; while another claims filler can fix it. Help?
