I had an upper eyelid surgery six months ago and it has been a disaster. Besides webbing and incisions up to my eye brows I have this sagging in my left eye. How risky is this to correct and when is it safe to do?

It's difficult to say without the benefit of a formal evaluation. This is my expertise and a huge portion of my practice. Asymmetry is normal and expected. See an expert who does facial shaping with surgical and non surgical methods to get a comprehensive option. Best, Dr. Emer.
