This patient is a perfect candidate for upper eyelid surgery for several
reasons. She has eyebrows that are nice and high (it's harder to get the
surgery right if the eyebrows are droopy). The excess skin on her upper
lids has caused a fold that hangs down on her lashes, preventing her from being
able to put eyeliner on her upper eyelids. And because of its excess, the
skin in her upper lids has become crinkly. Note the increased smoothness
of that crinkly upper eyelid skin in the after picture.

Questioner:
Is There Hope for Another Revision Rhinoplasty?
I had a revision rhinoplasty to fix my deviated septum. I wanted to keep the shape and size and only fix the deviation. A graft was placed (not from my body) but I was surprised that now my nose appears to have bad scar tissue, resulting in a "no shape" and bulbous nose. Could another revision fix my nose, for the last time? Or, will scar tissue keep forming? Can my nose be slimmed and defined? I live in Saudi, but I'm considering a revision in the states. Is there any surgeon you recommend?
(Questioner submitted photos)
Dr. Denenberg's answer: Removing scar tissue to give definition to the nose can be difficult
While it's true that some scar tissue will always form after any operation, the question is whether your scar tissue can be carved enough to give a meaningful improvement despite the new scar that can form. Sometimes the cartilages can still be modified to help with narrowing and defining, or adjusting or removing the graft could help. Could you post larger photos, taken from many angles, and also let us know where the graft sits? That would help.
