Can this noticeable crease/pucker be fixed via eyelid revision? (Photo)

Question

I had a Blepharoplasty 2 years ago. After it healed there was a small bulge in the corner of my eye. I met with an oculoplastic surgeon and was told it was fat that could be removed. I had that done 8 weeks ago and now there is a noticeable crease or pucker in the area. I am not happy with the way it looks. I want to have realistic expectations. Can this be fixed?

Hi there! I agree that fat removal was a good direction to take as that fat pad can protrude and cause fullness. Since there's unevenness, more skin excision may be needed to smooth the overall appearance. This can be done similar to your prior blepharoplasty via a skin pinch. I think realistically you can expect improvement though the symmetry may not be the same as the left side. Hope this helps!
