1 year post upper eyelid surgery - was enough skin removed? (photo)

Asked By:111L in Kansas

I am a 49 year old woman who had upper eyelid surgery a year ago to remove excess skin due to aging. My eyes look better than before the procedure but I still feel that there is excess skin that makes my eyes look heavy. I mentioned this to the plastic surgeon who performed the procedure and he dismissed my concern saying that my eyes were fine. I then consulted with an oculoplastic surgeon who said not enough skin was removed. What do you think? And why do the two surgeons opinions differ?
