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

Question

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?

Although an in-person exam would be necessary to provide a definitive answer, based on the photo you have provided it does appear you would be a suitable candidate for revision upper blepharoplasty to re-create a more defined crease. If you want the best idea of what is possible for your eyes, do your due diligence, find an experienced surgeon, and have him/her evaluate you in person and discuss your options. #drdonyoo
