Can anyone give me feedback on how to repair a lower bleph surgery that went wrong?

Question

I had a lower bleph done two years ago by a local dr who did an awful job.The skin that was taken out was around my lower orbital rim it was at my tear trough and should have been higher. There is a bubble shape to each side now that was not there before surgery. I would like to see what option are available to repair this? I've read about skin grafting, microneedling. If better pictures are needed please let me know in your review. Thank you kindly!

From your photos you have ectropian or a pulling away of the lower lid from the rim.Perhaps a simple tightening of your lower lid will suffice. This is what we call a canthopexy/canthoplasty.

Jusjon, an exam is needed especially in a revision. See an experienced plastic surgeon that specializes in "only faces" or an oculoplastic surgeon with decades of experience. See the video and good luck!

Your photos demonstrate orbital fat bulging forward (pseudoherniation) and creating the “bubble” that you are concerned about. Revision surgery can be performed via an incision inside the eyelid (transconjunctival) to release and reposition this bulging fat. Additional skin does not need to be removed as it is not skin causing the issue you are concerned about. I recommend you consult with a experienced eyelid surgeon.
