Upper eyelid surgery - too round eyes. What are my options? What to do next? (Photo)

Anna_KarinNov 12, 2022
I had upper eyelid surgery three weeks ago as I used to have very hooded eyes. Putting make up on was a daily challenge and, in general, they were puffy all the time, which I didnt like. I think too much skin was taken during the surgery (I can close my eyes fine) as the skin above my eyelashes is too visible. The scar doesnt sit exactly in my crease which I guess contributes to the overall change/roundiness. I dont like the result as it doesnt fit my face - what are my options? What to do next?
