Hi, I had upper blephoplasty 18 months ago. The inner corner of both my eyes now looks sunken in and there is a hole/dent where the stitches were. I didn’t have this before and it has started to really bother me as it can be seen in photos. My surgeon said it was fine. Is there anything that can be done to improve this (eg stitch it again so it’s more level with my skin, and not as tight/ sunken in?) should I get a 2nd opinion and can it be done in office?
