I had an upper and lower blepharoplasty last winter. At first I was mesmerizehow open and fresh my eyes looked, but with time I have started to have regrets. I certainly needed my eyelids adjusted, but I feel that a more conservative approach would have been better. I feel my eyes look hollow and my whole appearance has changed. I never had much upper eyelid show so the change is too big now. Did my surgeon remove too much? Will the eyelids drop with time? Can this be reversed?

Hello. The lower eyelid fat pads can be repositioned or debulked (or both) to correct a complication from prior surgery. This needs to be weighed against the risk of complications. An in-person evaluation would be essential.
