Monolid turned into hooded eyelid after double eyelid surgery - Would I benefit from a brow lift or a revision? (photos)

Asked By:angelabector13 in Oakland, California

I am a 28 year old Asian female who underwent double eyelid surgery 9 months ago. I used to have monolids with a lot of excess skin and fat on the upper eyelids. After my surgery (7mm height), I noticed that there was still a lot of skin and fat left above the crease, giving me a "puffy" look. Also, the skin sags over the new crease, giving me hooded eyes and a heavy feeling. Should I go for a revision surgery, brow lift, or infrabrow lift to get the hooded eyelids fixed?
