How is over-resected upper bleph fixed? How can I fix a too-low eye incision from 1st bleph that hangs and puckers now?

1st upper bleph 1 yr ago left extra skin/sagging AND incision went far too low past corner of eye. Another surgeon opted to avoid low incision this time. 9 days out now, eyes look deepset, sunken, smaller. Fat also injected under brows. Are eyes just swollen or over-resected? Can't see upper skin fold but easily close eyes. Previous low incision now sags/puckers. PS measured eyes w/calipers, marked before bleph. What to do if too much skin taken? And how to fix sagging low scar from 1st bleph?
