Is revision possible for left eye after bleph & browpexy? (Photo)

Question

I’m not happy with the result of the left eye after bleph and browpexy. Is a revision possible?

Alan Gonzalez, MD, FACS · Answer

Hello @Mumma_Hunter, thank you for your question. You need to keep in mind that the right side of the face is not the same as the left side, so the results of surgical and non-surgical procedures will be different on both sides. I would suggest enhancing the volume above the eyebrow a bit to balance out the eyes. For more information and recommendations, it is prudent to consult with one or several board certified plastic surgeons. Best wishes! Alan Gonzalez MD, FACS.

You actually have a bilateral issue. There is an A-frame change in the left upper eyelid but you appear to have bilateral upper eyelid ptosis with a compensatory eyebrow elevation (look how active your forehead muscles are). You need crease lowering, upper eyelid fat transposition, and anchor blepharoplasty. The position of the eyebrows should be carefully assessed to determine if they have been positioned too high.

Although, from this one picture, it is hard to say anything precisely. it appears that your surgeon missed the fact that you have ptosis (eyelid droop). This, unfortunately, is not that uncommon. If this is the case, you need to see a plastic or ophthalmic plastic surgeon significantly experienced in eyelid revision and ptosis surgery. (See the last example in the supporting link.)
