Solutions for upper eyelid and brow after lateral orbital rim shaving?

janedough123Apr 4, 2022
I'm a 30 year old woman & years ago I (unfortunately) had orbital bone shaving done. The incision was made in my upper eyelids and the tail ends of my orbital rims were shaved, as well as fat removed. Now I have been left with scarring & a "deflated" appearance to my upper eyelids/brows. It seems as if the skin is sagging as there is no more bone support. Are there any procedures that could fix this? I was told fat transfer is unpredictable. Thank you in advance.
