7 weeks ago I had an upper/lower blepharoplasty. My left eye has healed beautifully, with barely a scar. But my right eyelid still appears to have skin laxity and the eyelid isn't creasing properly. I seem to have an extra flap of skin that folds at the crease. I think the vast majority of my swelling is gone at this point. How long do I need to wait before asking for a revision? My doctor told me he wouldn't consider revising it for 6 months, which seems like a long wait.
