ONLY FOR THOSE WHO HAVE HAD: Asian Blepharoplasty / Double Eyelid Surgery Before...?

I've been reading a lot of responses to this topic on Asian Blepharoplasty / double eyelid surgery and I would appreciate answers only from people who've had this procedure done before because I've noticed people who have never had it done before or who do not condone it, have a tendency to say, "Don't do it," or "You look great just the way you are." So here's my story: My mom naturally has double eyelids, but my father does not so I ended up being born with one eye with and one eye without (trust me I looked a little funny before). So I had this procedure done about 10 years ago when I was about 18 years old and after a few months of healing, the results were amazing. People kept complimenting me and telling me how great I looked and my eyes were so sparkly and pretty when I smile. I didn't regret having the surgery at all because my doctor (who is a female) sounded like she knew what she was doing (and someone recommended her to me). And not only were my eyes even now, but they looked better than before and I felt very confident about the overall results! NOW FAST FORWARD 10 YEARS LATER..... My eyes do not look the same anymore. I mean they look normal still, but when you are 28 going on 30 any day now, your eyes - as well as your entire face / body - start to change. My eyes have always been naturally deeper than most Asian women's - and that's one of my lucky features to be born with - but the problem is, now that I am getting older, they have deepened even more, causing my double eyelid crease to somewhat disappear on my right eye. And get this, when I wake-up in the morning (after sleeping for 8 hours), they look normal, but as the hours pass throughout the day, they get deeper and the crease, again, almost disappears. Also, my eyelids seem to be drier than before. As for my left eyelid, it has not disappeared - yet - but there is some drooping starting to appear. So my question is, does anyone out there, who has had this procedure done before, also suffer from these similar results years later? And if so, what have you done to fix it? Do you just live with these results for the rest of your life? Or have you decided to go back and get it done again, but this time, have a different procedure done to improve the lackluster appearance. I have already spoken to one cosmetic surgeon and he said it was not that bad, but if I wanted to get it done, it would be up to me. He even suggested I take some fat out of my belly button and add it to my eyelids so it will not be that dry. I have also made other appointments to see other surgeons and get their opinions on this matter as well. I am seriously thinking about getting this surgery done again, so my right eyelid will return back to it's first surgery appearance or perhaps even better. I'm not really mad at my first doctor, but I think she could have done a better job the first time around. My confidence at the moment is not very high because of this and I wish this wouldn't bother me, but it just does. Thanks for the advice and good luck to the best answer!
