2 years post- op- Tightness/uneveness after ptosis/blepharoplasty. Is this still likely to resolve? (Photos)

Question

I got ptosis surgery and blepharoplasty a little over 2 years ago. After 1 year, one eye was healing still slowly and much more raised, so we did a revision on that one - so now I'm at 2 years post on the right eye and about 1 year post on the left eye. The left eye is still a bit more arched up than the right, and it still is tight and I can feel it like it's pulled up. Can I still expect it to reduce down more like the other eye? Anything else I can consider/do for more symmetry?

It its unlikely that more time will make more difference. The right upper eyelid is still heavy. Your have minimal double folds. Was that your goal? Often people want a little more platform exposure. Regarding what can be done, there is simply no substitute for a detailed in person assessment to evaluate your concerns and what resources are left in the eyelid to accomplish the revision.
