Can the line/crease on the corner of my eye when I smile be fixed after lower blepharoplasty? (Photo)

Asked By:girlmeetsnose in New York, New York

I had upper and lower blepharoplasty many years ago and have noticed that when I smile a huge unnatural line occurs at the corner of my eyes that never used to prior to my surgery (more pronounced on one side than the other). How can I fix this / is it fixable? When I pull my face up by the temples and smile it appears to be less noticeable. Is my only recourse now an upper facelift?
