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?
