I had upper blepharoplasty on both eyelids in Feb 2012. Around Aug. of that same year, the right lid starting drooping a little. By Nov., it got pretty bad and I got approved by my insurance company to have the upper bleph done on my right eye again. (This condition is not congenital for me, fyi) I had the bleph done @ the beginning of this Feb. The eye I had surgery on is still wider than the other. Do I have any hope that it will change shape still? I feel so self conscious about it.
