Is eye revision really going to help? (photos)

Letgo99Jan 6, 2016
IS REVISION REALLY GOING TO HELP??? I am concerned if It will be better or worse. The stitches on my right eye opened on day 3 . I went back and had it taped up with steri strips. I have a bigger scar on that eye, the lid is lower and both eyes have way less lid. I couldn't shut my right eye all the way for months. They look lifeless now. I wish I didn't listen to the suggestion about doing my eyes the day before surgery. My eyes were my best feature:(
