Asymmetry is so much worse after corrective unilateral blepharoplasty - options? (photos)

lilyyyysApr 29, 2022
Ophthalmological medical history: - Born with a congenital cataract in my left eye, detected late (~ at around 2 ) - Went through cataract surgery right after. They removed the cataract but did not implant a lens. At 17, strabismus correction surgery was quite successful. I still had a noticeable lazy eye, so I got a corrective blepharoplasty on my left eye to even out the eyelids. However, the result is so much worse. It's as if my left eye never stopped swelling. It's been over 4yrs
