You can undergo a revision eyelid procedure. Typically, we wait 6-12 months following the initial procedure before considering a revision. It is difficult to visualize your exact concerns from your description. I recommend that you either post a photo of your eyes open and closed or consult locally with a Facial Plastic Surgeon or Oculoplastic Surgeon to determine exactly what can be done to improve your eyelids. Keep in mind that they will likely recommend waiting another 4-10 months proceeding with another procedure. I hope this information is helpful.

At this point you will have to wait a good 6 months or longer before considering a revision of some sort. Good luck.

In my experience the real result for an upper eyelid blepharoplasty is at 3 months, and I do not like to revise any surgery before 9 months. The exception to that would be if you cannot close your eyes well, and you have having constant irritation.
