I had undergone upper blepharoplasty 8 months ago. I’m generally pleased with the results but bother my the fold cover the inner corner of my left eye which makes the right lid height smaller than the left. Would revision surgery help this asymmetry?

The reason you look older is the fat atrophy of your face and mostly your cheek over the cheek bones. That area also supports your lower eyelids and make a better transition between your lower eyelids and your cheeks. If you look at your own pictures from 10-15 years ago, you'll notice that you...
