What happened after my surgery? Should I see a reconstructive surgeon? (Photo)

Please see my before and after pictures and let me know if I should see another surgeon regarding the eye that looks botched. Can anyone tell me what the surgeon did to make my eye look like this. It's hollow, droopy with a crease. If you look closely at my before photo I never had this issue and I'm devastated. The after picture is 4 months after the surgery. He added a quarter of filler to try to approve the issues and this photo is the results so far. Should I see a reconstructive surgeon?

This could be multiple things, however, the most likely scenario is that you still have post-operative edema or perhaps the surgeon has not removed all the appropriate volume that was required. The darkening can be explained as hypopigmentation from the bleeding and bruising after surgery. In...

I appreciate you asking the question and showing the pictures, Dear @HereSheGoes2021. There are always two options, but each one has a different solution capacity. Blepharoplasty and nonsurgical treatments could be combined since the lines/crepiness and hollow look that have been mentioned are...
