Should I Have a Revision Upper Blepharoplasty to Fix Asymmetry from High Incision?

RBlas
Hi, I had a blepharoplasty of both eyelids two years ago to help deal with lash ptosis. However, after the healing and swelling subsided (post 1 year), the crease on my right eyelid was much higher than the left exposing the lid on the right more, and causing asymmetry. Upon looking at the photos immediately after surgery, my oculoplastic surgeon told me the incision on the right eye was 2 mm higher than the left. Is there any revision that can be done to fix this and what is the success rate
