I had lacrimal gland surgery and it only lasted a couple months. Should I try it again? Has the procedure improved? (photos)

I am a 30 year old female. I had the surgery on my lacrimal glands 10 years ago at age 20. The results only lasted a couple months. I hate them so much and constantly having people point them out and ask if I got punched in the eye. Aside from the cosmetic aspect they make me feel like there is pressure on my eye and they obstruct my vision. It's like I have my finger on my eyelid all the time and while reading or doing other things I often pull my eyelid up to relieve pressure and see better.
