Excess hooding post Double Eyelid Surgery. What surgeries do I need to make my eyes look more open? (Photo)

Question

I had an Asian double eyelid surgery 6 months ago. There is still excess hooding and my crease is not visible. Also my eyes look closed and asymmetrical. What surgeries are needed to make my eyes look more open, with visible crease, and symmetrical? Do I need ptosis repair + lower brow lift? Also my lower right eye is too high - would lower blepharoplasty fix this?

Although an in-person exam would be necessary to provide a definitive answer, based on the photo you have provided it does appear you would be a suitable candidate for revision upper blepharoplasty to re-create a more visible, symmetric, and defined crease. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. #drdonyoo

You would benefit from a revision surgery to remove additional skin. You may also benefit from brow lifting (surgery or chemically) but difficult to tell from your photos. Best to see an eyelid expert in your area.

Hello, I suggest starting surgery and having a double take with a new surgeon who specializes in the field you are asking for.
