Upper Blepharoplasty did not change much. What are the options to fix this? (photos)

Question

16 years ago I had preseptal cellulitis on the left upper eyelid. Once I’ve recovered my eyelid looked different. I decided last year to undergo an upper eyelid blepharoplasty to make it look more “normal”. It’s been exactly a year and not much has changed. The eyelid still folds on the old higher crease instead of the new surgically created crease which is lower. When i pull on my eyelid it does look normal but it only lasts for about a minute. Can this still be fixed?

You appear to have a slightly droopy left upper eyelid with an increased tarsal platform show. This makes the left upper lid look longer than the right. This can often be fixed surgically not just by removing skin but tightening the muscle. You will also need lid crease formation sutures.
Best to see an eyelid expert in your area.

Another operation might give you the correction you need. Of course no guarantees but it is simple enough to have done
