Unhappy with upper eyelid surgery, 9 months post-op. Do I need a brow lift or another eye lift? (Photo)

Asked By:Xans in San Rafael, CA

I had an upper eyelid lift nine months ago. I'm very unhappy with the results and I wonder what I need to get a better result. Do I need a brow lift or another eye lift? Dr. actually redid the right eye because of extra skin. He said removal of the excess skin would make my eyes look hallow. There was zero improvement. Initially my quote was $2,800 but Dr. Delgado encouraged me to pay an extra $500 to remove a muscle above my eyebrow. He claimed it would make the fold in my eyelid look better.
