A botched surgery left me with saggy skin on the outer part of the eye, and bad scars. Now a doctor wants to perform a revision as indicated on the picture but I am afraid I could get worse. What do you think?

Answer: I am not say that you can't be revised. What I am going to tell you is that the likelihood that the surgeon who have found can revise you and improve this is low. I am concerned that you will be make much worse by this well meaning individual. There are a lot of details that are missing from your case description. For example, how long has it been since your original surgery. One can not simply excise scar and skin here and expect a different outcome. I recommend profound caution here.

Answer: Maybe if your concern is that you have a dog ear at the end of your incision m, the revision you have marked may help. Unfortunately it will pull the lateral corner of your eyebrow down and therefore not raise your eyelids anymore. Either way this seems a reasonable result apart from the dog ear, which is a very common complication from this type of surgery. Hope that helps. Best wishes, Adam, Goodwin. I have a video on this particular operation on my YouTube channel Adam goodwin surgery if you would like to have a look.
