Botched upper blepharoplasty ( + brow lift), surgeon refusing to help, is there anything to be done? (photos)

devvevvAug 27, 2021
Hi, I'm a 32yr old woman. Had upper blepharoplasty with a brow lift exactly 6 months ago. Had the bleph because was starting to get hooded eyelids. My right eyelid was considerably more hooded than my left. Went to a surgeon who recommended also having a brow lift, so had that too. I'm extremely unhappy with my eyes. The scar on my right eye doesn't hide in the crease. But that is the smallest problem. I look monstrous when closing my eyes or squinting. Can any of this be fixed?

The skin in the area called the tarsal platform is not tight. When we do an upper lid bleph, we try to secure the crease so that the skin here is smooth. If the crease doesn't hold well for some reason, the skin will drop and you will see this sort of wrinkling. The best thing to do is a...
