Is it possible to lower overcorrected eyelid after ptosis surgery? (Photo)

gwelsh93
20 months ago I had surgery on my left eye to raise it as it was dropping slightly. The surgeon over corrected it but when i raised this at the time he said that’s just the price you pay for getting this surgery done. However it is clearly overcorrected - it’s too high and my eye lid is gone. Can I get it lowered? Or should I get a bleph to remove the skin?
