I am 58, healthy and of slim build. I had an upper bleph 16 months ago, mainly to get a little more symmetry. My right eye (left as you look at my photo) was worst, and I couldn’t be happier with that eye. However, my left eye seemed to droop, and so 5 months ago I had a revision by a little more skin being taken from the inner eye (no more fat was removed). Frustratingly it’s dropped again, and not only does it look like my right eye did before surgery, it actually looks worse than my start point. I’m back to assymetry. I’m realistic and don’t expect perfection, but I do feel quite ‘Popeye’. Botox to raise my brow hasn’t worked. Do I have any options, or having already had a revision am I to accept this?

I'm sorry to hear you are unhappy with your previous surgery. You will want to wait until at least six months post op before considering consultations for a revision. As you are still healing you may notice improvement in your dry eye symptoms over the next few months.
