Recommendation for upper blepharoplasty scars, pitted and purple hues?

Question

I am devastated by this procedure. It has worsened my confidence beyond belief. I did surgery in October 2021. Ive undergone a few different lasers and microneedling since. I dont think it has improved much, not enough for me to feel comfortable without my hair covering my face. Would a revision help?

Difficult to answer without seeing any photos. There are lots of options for scar modulation including 5Fu/kenlaog, laser resurfacing, and revision surgery. Best to see an eyelid specialist.

It sounds like you have a real issue. The question is what precisely is causing your issue. Often compounding the problem is a poorly designed and executed upper blepharoplasty. Some of these require a full reconstruction of the blepharoplasty to address. Without the photographs, it is impossible to be more precise in a response.
