A member asked:
After having a blepharoplasty procedure, is it common for the eyelids to go back to how they were before the operation?

Shouldn't : Your eyelids should appear smoother or smaller with the extra skin (and possibly fat) removed. If they look the same to you, ask your doctor to see your before pictures.

Gravity!: It is possible that after several years gravity takes its toll. Repeat blepharoplaty my be needed. You will be better off with a conservative doctor rather than an aggressive one that takes off too much (which leads to dry eyes... Misery).

It lasts: A blepharoplasty or eyelid surgery sculpts the lid skin and bulging fat around the eyes to yield a wide awake and pretty appearance. Since there is a finite or limited amount of skin and fat around the eyes the results are long lasting. www.artofplasticsurgey.com.

Blepharoplasty: Blepharoplasty is a surgical procedure. It is unlikely the lids will return to their preoperative state.
