Loose skin fold after upper bleph. Can I get rid of this extra skin? (Photo)

Asked By:emmydonay in Abbeyville, Colorado, USA

I did an upper bleph 6 months ago and i had a very little extra loose skin before surgery on this place, but not this much I have now after surgery. I have problems putting on my eyeliner now. I wonder if it’s possible to get rid of this extra skin on my eyelid in some way? Should I try out co2 laser on that thin skin? Because I’m pretty sure I cannot take more skin with revision. When I close my eyes, the eye is flat with no fold. I didn’t get any advice from the doctor who did the surgery.

Answer: This occurred because your surgeon does not understand upper eyelid anatomy--common.
