It's been a while!
I have since gone to LA to get restylane injected to the right upper lid hollowing. Apparently, the steroid injection at my last post-op visit was the culprit for the excess hollowing.
The aesthetic appeal has been restored, however, the functional issues remain as I have residual left eyelid retraction from the original surgery by Dr. Pritikin. And now slightly more ptosis in the right upper eyelid.
I have a surgery date to address the scarring retraction coming up. Will keep you updated!

Left eye perfect. Right eye severely hollowed
I had posed a question to RS and several Dr's regarding fat transfer and fillers for upper eyelid hollowing, to no avail. At least in my area, however, there are several Dr's in Los Angeles who perform this procedure.
After all of the swelling had subsided from the previous surgery, I noticed a lot of hollowing on the right upper lid area.
The left was the worse of the 2 before surgery, now corrected, but it seems I've traded one issue for another.
There are no Dr's in Chicago who are comfortable or experienced enough with fat transfers or fillers to the upper eyelids. If you search realself on upper lid fillers, you will even see that many Dr's argue amongst themselves on the safety and effectiveness of upper eyelid fillers.
I, however, have had this procedure performed before with restylane and it does work. However, it is temporary and you do risk more scar tissue from the cannula used to inject multiple times.
The filler should address the issue, nonetheless. Unfortunately, the majority of Dr's skilled in performing this technique are in LA.
