I had upper & lower bleph surgery June 2 ,2017. Not counting my post op visit, I went back to my surgeon 9 times due to unsightly issues from my surgery. One visit, I received an injection for webbing. On the last visit, Jan 15 2018, my surgeon removed scar tissue from the incision lines. Of course the latter included several injections of lidocaine which were extremely painful, and more stitches. I would not call it revision surgery. I am not happy with the outcome & believe it should look better than it does. My right eye remains hooded which was the reason for the upper bleph in the first place! I know it's "only" been a year, but I still have visible scars on my upper lids from the incisions that cannot be hidden with eye shadow. I would like to hear from others who have had similar issues. I would also like for surgeons on this site to please advise me what to do now. The photos were taken today & show both eyes.

Wow, I'm so impressed that your eyes are healing so well. Keep us updated! I've scheduled my surgery for my upper lids Sept. 8th, 2017 so I'm right behind you! I'm 60 and will be 61 in December. My eyelids don't look too terribly bad yet, but I don't want them to get bad.

I take that thing about them not being that bad - they look worse in photos than when I'm looking in the mirror. I must be holding them open! I need to make my own post about my eyes now.
