A few years ago I had eyelid surgery in Newport Beach. Initially, I was very happy with my upper eyelid surgery. However, now I think too much surgery was performed. I once had a much fuller upper eyelid and now my upper eyelids are very hollow and my upper eyelids seem to hang down. Is there anything that can be done?
Some surgeons see their job as removing as much tissue as possible even to the point of making it difficult to close the eyes. In contrast Dr. Steinsapir looks to preserve natural eyelid structure as much as possible. Usually restoring fullness to the upper eyelid is very difficult. However in this case, it sounds like the tendon of the upper eyelids may be disinserted causing a drooping of the upper eyelid. This can be caused by the prior eyelid surgery as the tendon may have been accidentally cut and not repaired leaving the eyelids to slowly sag down over time. On the other hand, the upper eyelid heaviness may just be coincidental and unrelated to the prior eyelid surgery. A consultation with Dr. Steinsapir will resolve these issues and determine what you need to address the eyelids.
