Hi, I had an upper blephoplasty procedure 6 months ago. Looking at the right side of my face - the crease seems to be jagged. Could this be rectified in a revision? I don't think there's much more skin to remove - but I would just like it to look a bit neater. My surgeon is removing the excess 'bumps' or 'dog ears' on either side on my eye's in his office in a months time - would he able to fix this at the same time?
