Will my uneven eyelid folds require another surgery? Are there options to make the eye folds more even without surgery? (photo)

Question

I had double eyelid surgery over 5 years ago and a year later, I had a correction done on my right side because the initial results created uneven eyelid folds. Now, over 5 years later, they are still uneven and very obviously so. Will this require another surgery? Do I have any other options to make the eye folds more even without surgery?

Although an in-person exam would be necessary to provide a definitive answer, based on the photo you have provided it does appear you would be a suitable candidate for revision upper blepharoplasty to create more symmetry. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes,, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. #drdonyoo

You may need right upper eyelid ptosis surgery but more detailed evaluation to determine. See an oculoplastic surgeon.
