Eyelid surgery - should I have a revision? (Photo)

Your ptosis has been corrected but the excess skin has not. You may want to undergo a skin revision again. However, it is unusual to have so many blepharoplasties in a short period of time.

Best Wishes,

You need an entirely different approach. The key to successfully improving this eyelid is what sort of resources are left in the eyelid. Your crease is too high. In addition you do not have enough volume in this upper eyelid fold. The multiple creases are the consequence of unwanted attachments between the skin and orbicularis oculi muscle and the underlying tendon. In lowering the upper eyelid crease, these attachments need to be broken down. In order for this repair to be successful, you need preaponeurotic fat mobilized into the fold. The fat may be present or may be missing. An in person assessment often confirms the presence of pre-aponeurotic fat. Ultimately the only way to fully understand the underlying anatomy is to open up the eyelid. Graft fat is seldom helpful for these because grafted fat is too stiff to allow the upper eyelid fold to function properly. You should be cautious if a surgeon promises you the stars, the moon, and the sky. These are challenging to fix but it is possible.
