No change after upper and lower blepharoplasty - do I need a revision? (Photos)

Question

I am 3 months out from upper and lower blepharoplasty and ptosis repair and cannot see a difference. I still have a lot of excess skin and hooding and I am very asymmetric. Will it get better? Do I need a revision? Photos are from before surgery, 3 months after, and the excess skin I can still pinch. Please advise.

Hello,
Thank you for your question.
At three months post-op, some healing is still ongoing, but persistent excess skin, hooding, and asymmetry may suggest undercorrection. While minor improvements can occur up to six months, significant residual concerns may require revision. A follow-up with your surgeon or an oculoplastic specialist is recommended to assess the need for further correction.

Thank you for your inquiry! It looks like by your photos that you still have excess skin present that would be able to be removed. Make sure to keep open communication with your surgeon and voice your concerns. We would be happy to sit down with you to discuss your concerns and options. Schedule a consultation with a Board Certified Plastic Surgeon to help you reach your goals.
