Is there an increased risk for a second blepharoplasty?

onthefairway
I had a blepharoplasty 6 years ago. It was a very natural look and I was very happy. I thought I would only have to do this procedure once. Now my upper eyelids are starting to show folds again and the inside corners are starting to have sagging wrinkled skin. Is it a mistake to have a second blepharoplasty? Is a second performed often? Is there more of a risk for a good result if a second is performed?
