Is it possible for me to have upper eyelid revision? (Photo)

Question

I had an upper bleph 18 months ago to correct eyelid asymmetry. I really liked the shape of my left eyelid and wanted my right side to match it as it had a lot of excess skin. The doctor said it was best to do both eyelids to “tidy the left one up”. He ended up completely changing the shape of my left eye cutting the incision across the lid making the eye smaller and also giving me a wrinkle where the crease used to be. He also didn’t take enough skin from the right eye. Could I have this fixed?

Thank you for sharing your question and posting your photographs. It would not be prudent to have additional surgery performed at this time since you look better than prior to surgery and have minimal issues at this point. It is definitely not worth the risk of additional surgery. Perhaps in the future as you get older and the eyelid skin drops  again it might be reasonable for a touch up  Good luck!
