I underwent lacrimal gland repair and an upper blepharoplasty. Is it possible to restore how my eyes once looked?

Asked By:Adora30 in California, USA

I underwent lacrimal gland repair and an upper blepharoplasty. Unfortunately, I was not aware that I would have incision lines visible on the outside of my eyes, aggressive fat and muscle removal, lowered eyebrows, and asymmetry of my eyes. I cannot begin to describe the intense psychological distress this has caused me. I would lik to have my hooded eyes restored, eyebrows raised and arched, crease slightly lowered, ptosis corrected, and eyes symmetrical in size and setting. Thank you!
