Still Excess Skin After Upper Bleph? (photo)

You have full eyebrows and eyelid which is a sign of youth! A bit of redundant skin is necessary for you to be able to close your eyes. If you are not happy with the appearance of your eyes at this point, your other option may be a brow lift to elevate the brow away from eyelids.

I doubt that removing any further skin would achieve the more "open" look you are going for. An in person examination would be required. Removing fat from the upper lid is something we shy away from because we now understand that will lead to hollowing later on in life which is much more difficult to treat.

It appears from your picture that your brows are elevated appropriately so this is not a problem. It does look like you have some excess skin now versus a swollen scar. I would get other opinions as it is hard to tell just based on pictures.
