Second Upper and Lower Eyelid Surgery Recommended?

Depending on anatomic changes such as skin excess and the development of eyelid drooping (called "ptosis"), you can safely have more than one eyelid procedure in your lifetime. I would like to point out to you that you appear to have ptosis, particularly affecting the left eye where it is difficult to see your pupil. A blepharoplasty alone is not likely to make your eyes look "brighter" without the ptosis being addressed. Ask your doctor when you have your consultation about "eyelid ptosis" and learn about your ptosis eyelid surgery options.

It is perfectly safe to do revision surgery on the eye's. More care and attention needs to be taken however as it depends on an individual skin muscle and fat components that need to be addressed either independently or together to achieve the desired resultDiscuss with your plastic surgeon and ask of the experience of doing revision eye lid surgery.

Eyelid ptosis and volume loss is the problem most obvious in the photo you have posted. The eyelids are droopy. You are obviously compensating on the left eyelid with your brow elevation.

Addressing the eyelid ptosis may also improve the hollowness of the upper eyelids, but certainly fillers or fat grafting [done appropriately] would also improve this hollowness.

 



If you decide to explore this further, I would recommend consultation with an ASOPRS trained Oculoplastics surgeon. You can find one close to you on the ASOPRS dot org website.
