Eyelid surgery, also known as blepharoplasty, is a popular cosmetic procedure that can rejuvenate the appearance of the eyes and improve vision. However, like any surgical procedure, there’s always a chance that the results may not meet expectations. At Arizona Oculoplastic Specialists, we understand the frustration and concern that comes with a botched eyelid surgery. That’s why we specialize in blepharoplasty revision, helping patients achieve the results they originally desired.
Common Issues with Botched Eyelid Surgery
When eyelid surgery goes wrong, it can lead to various complications and undesirable outcomes. Some common issues include:
- Asymmetry between the eyes
- Overcorrection (too much skin or fat removed)
- Undercorrection (not enough skin or fat removed)
- Eyelid retraction or ectropion (lower eyelid pulling away from the eye)
- Persistent swelling or scarring
- Difficulty closing the eyes completely
These issues can not only affect the aesthetic appearance of your eyes but may also impact your eye health and vision. That’s why it’s crucial to seek help from experienced oculoplastic surgeons who specialize in revisional eyelid surgery.
The Importance of Choosing the Right Surgeon for Revision
Revision blepharoplasty is a complex procedure that requires a high level of skill and expertise. Dr. Ali Ghafouri, our board-certified oculoplastic surgeon, has extensive experience in correcting botched eyelid surgeries.

When to Consider Revision Blepharoplasty
If you’re unhappy with the results of your initial blepharoplasty, it’s important to wait for complete healing before considering revision surgery. This typically takes about 3-6 months. However, if you’re experiencing functional issues or significant asymmetry, it’s best to consult with a specialist sooner.
Some signs that you might benefit from revision surgery include:
- Persistent discomfort or irritation in the eyes
- Visible scarring or unnatural-looking results
- Difficulty closing your eyes or dry eye symptoms
- Asymmetry that’s noticeable to others
- Emotional distress due to the appearance of your eyelids
