Is a red line along the eyelashes normal? (photos)

You have post blepharoplasty left upper eyelid ptosis.  Removing more skin is only going to expose the heavy upper eyelid and make you look worse.  You will be looking for a third surgery.  You need to have definitive care for this before all the resources are used up by surgeons who mean we...
