Lower eyelid lift effect on upper eyelid and eye appearance - can this be corrected? (Photos)

I had a lower eyelid lift as part of the facelift surgery. I don't like how it has looked since then. Upper eyelids didn't need any work. However, as part of lower eyelid lift, my left eyelid was pulled down and over too much. My upper eyelids look very heavy now and make me look older. Is it possible to correct this?

YES! There is no reason that you can't have aesthetic surgery in the US. I would recommend planning surgery with plenty of time for recovery prior to traveling internationally.

Sorry that you are so frustrated. I have found that the injection of a low viscosity, malleable, cohesive HA filler properly injected in the under-eye region can help to lighten under-eye dark circles. I have personally used this approach over the years with gratifying results. You would be...

If you could choose one, would you do upper blepharoplasty or lateral temporal browplasty? (Photos)

Thank you for your photos. The correct position for the brow is to be at, or above, the bony orbital rim of the eye socket. Your brow appears to be above your orbital rim and elevating it further with a temporal brow lift would not provide an aesthetic improvement. An upper blepharoplasty,...
