A bad lower bleph left me hollow above and below the orbital rim & with scleral show. I have since had two fat grafting procedures and a canthopexy which have fixed everything but the hollowness above the orbital rim. While improved, this area is still not what I want. What are my options? It seems like it would be very difficult to get fat into this area, and probably even harder to get the contour right. If it can be improved I definitely want to, but if not then I should let it go.

Hello,
It's normal to have some level of anxiety about your results after undergoing surgery. Two weeks just too early to evaluate what type of result you're going to have. You should have a good sense of your eyelid position after about 10-12 weeks, although your wounds will continue to heal...
Thanks for posting GREAT Photos! Look in the mirror and lift you skin above your brow. If that looks good to you you need a brow lift and Not a blepharoplasty. It will eliminate the skin excess, raise your brow and can be done thru a small scar which will not be seen.
Thank you for sharing your question. The eyelids you prefer have eyebrows which are ptotic (droopy). Lowering your eyebrows to the position shown would be inappropriate. From the photos, your eyelids look fine. See an experienced Oculoplastic Surgeon for comprehensive evaluation and discussion...
