My left eye's lower eyelid is slightly higher than my right eye's. So I am trying to rise my my right eye's lower lid to match the left. An oculafacial plastic surgeon once told me that I can rise my lower lid just by massaging it in an upward motion. I did not ask for any details or looked any further into it. Does it work? How often should I massage it? How long will it take? Are the results permanent? How high can I expect it to rise? Who should consult with?

First, there is no substitute for an actual examination. Remember what we are doing here on Realself.com is entertainment but you won't feel that way reading answers about your question. There are many causes for lower eyelid bags. Doing the wrong surgery will not help you but...
The eyelid surgery unmasked but did not create your eyelid issues. Generally these will improve with time as swelling and eyelid function return. In the meantime symptomatic treatment with eye drops can ameliorate some of the symptoms.
