Has my upper lids Belpharoplasty failed? (photos)

YackyCHFeb 17, 2014
Had the surgery 27 days ago. Now there is a bit difference between the left and right eye. I can open the left eye big all right. But the muscle in the right eye feels weak. When I open the left eye, the upper lid folds up and the lower lid muscle contracting downwards, but for the right eye, the upper lid muscle doesn't feel strong enough and the lower lid hardly moves at all. Will I finally end up with one eye bigger than the other?

Your lids appear asymmetric in that the crease on the left is more prominent. It is possible you would benefit from a revision on the right. Consult with your surgeon about when this would be best accomplished.
