Did surgeon remove too much skin from my eyelids? (Photos)

Debbie W
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?
