5 months post op, don't see much of a difference after upper eyelid surgery. Am I being too unrealistic? (photos)

Asked By:Beautiful2620 in Los Angeles, CA

I had upper eyelid surgery 5 months ago and I'm not really pleased with the results. My lids are still drooping and I don't have that open eyed look I used to have that I was hoping for. I went to one of the top surgeons in my city and my mom had her eyes done by him 10 years ago and they look amazing. I feel like either he didn't take enough skin off or maybe I need a brow lift too. Am I being too unrealistic?
