Eyelid Surgery to Correct Protruding Lacrimal Gland?

gapsfinest4eva
My upper eyelids are laxed and lacrimal gland is presently showing. I haven't gotten the surgery yet. I'm just trying to get a little insight on it before I decide to go through with it. I'm going to be seen by one of the top oculoplastic surgeons in New Jersey. I'm still a little frightened. Any suggestions on what I should do? I'm 21 and I hate to be called names cause of the excess skin and lacrimal gland that protrudes out the side of my eyes. I want a better appearance but I'm scared it may not work how I want it to
