Can a revision help me with the asymmetry (9 months post-op)?

AdellinaApr 16, 2022
Hello everyone, I’ve had 9 months ago upper and lower(with pinched skin) eyelid surgery with temporal lifting. As you can see from my photos,my eyes are very asymmetrical,the corner of my right eye was pulled up so much more then the left one. Is there any chance that a revision can fix the asymmetry? I don’t want perfection, just want to live a normal life again. Thank you in advance
