Excess Skin Left over After Ptosis Surgery -- Should I Get More Surgery?

abstractioness
3 years ago I had ptosis surgery on my right eyelid. I am happy with the lid level though it's not perfect. However, I now have excess skin on my upper eyelid, and a few hours after I get up it forms a hollow and a triple eyelid (the pictures are right after I get up vs. a few hours later). Would it be realistic to expect, if I had another blepharoplasty (just to remove excess skin), for my eye to always look like the photo on the right? And if so, how much would the procedure typically cost?
