Upper Bleph Revision - can this be fixed?

J Smith_UKDec 14, 2024

It is normal to expect some asymmetry and temporary shape change very early after lower blepharoplasty mostly due to swelling from surgery, in particular after fat grafts. You should wait at least 6 months before considering any corrective surgery unless you develop some functional issues....
