Over correction retraction repair...do I need revision or work on other eyelid? (photo)

ev76
I had upper left eyelid retraction repair appx 7 wks ago. (Have Graves) From the getgo my eyelid looked like it was set too low. Still have some swelling. I see my surgeon in a week but from what he told me after sending him pics he may want to go in & lower the right eyelid. I was under the understanding that it's better to over correct since it's easier to go in & lift the eyelid than lowering it. What would you recommend lowering my right eyelid or try raising the over corrected left eyelid?
