Revision blepharoplasty at 61 - could a revision be successful? (Photos)

I am 61 and had upper and lower eyelids done in 1998 so it's been 27 years! Fat pockets have reappeared as have wrinkles, to be expected. How successful would a revision be at this point?

Based on these very limited photos which do not show entire periorbital area, it does not look like you should expect much of the improvement after lower or upper blepharoplasty. In person consultation is recommended.
