Hello, 30 y/F, full of regret after bilateral upper bleph (3mm skin removed) & left eye ptosis repair. Ptosis repair is fine. Upper bleph has left both creases too low, eyes look hooded / smaller. Some tissue was removed below the incisions, which were made a bit too low, especially medial half, where crease cuts down to the inner corners. Also, brow has very slightly relaxed.
