Answer: You first surgery can be repaired. However you should wait about 6 months to allow for all swelling and inflammation to subside. You have a ptosis of the upper eyelids, which should be corrected. You also have a different lid height and crease which needs to be adjusted. At the time of the repair, the suture which is causing the peak on the right can be removed to allow the lid to relax.

Answer: Can my recent eyelid surgery be repaired? Thank you for your question and your photos. So sorry that you have had these issues. From your photos, it appears that your left upper eyelid ( the one without the "triangular point") has ptosis, or drooping of the eyelid below the iris near the pupil. This is what you refer to as the smaller eye. Without pre-op photos, it is impossible to say whether you had ptosis pre-op and now it is just much more noticeable. The right eyelid with the "triangular point" will likely improve as the scar starts to soften. If it doesn't, it is an easy fix. The eyelid with the ptosis is unlikely to change much this long after surgery, and requires another surgery for ptosis repair. You should get a consult with a BCPS or ophthalmologist who performs ptosis surgery for correction. Best of luck.
