Overexcised skin on upper eyelids and don't like my eyelid shape. Any way to get my old eyelids back? (Photo)

Asked By:mtp138

I underwent cosmetic eyelid surgery where the doctor cut my upper eyelids and took off too much skin. I do not like the shape of my eyes now and they are asymmetrical , especially since the right side was over corrected even more. I like my old, droopy “puppy” upper eyelids. What procedures can I do to have both my eyelids closer to how they were before? Is a skin graft possible, it not what other techniques could help the situation? Thanks in advance.
