In two years this is now my third try to fix the double eyelid on my left eye. The last 2 times it dropped within 3 months. This time it is asymmetrical after one month already. The crease is not were it is supposed to be causing the skin to fold above the eye.The doctor used two yarns, to stabilize it more, one on the inside. The left eye has always been smaller. But what can I do? Do it a fourth time?
I am sorry that you have had difficulty achieving the result you wanted for your eyelids. My first piece of advise is to allow your eyelid to completely heal before considering any more surgery. There is only so much skin that can be removed from the eyelid and still allow you to completely close your eye without any side effects such as a dry eye. Having three surgeries on the same lid within the span of two years seems rather extreme to me. You did not indicate if the same surgeon has performed all three surgeries and I am going to assume that it is the same surgeon. I would advise you to wait 6 months to a year before considering another revision. Looking at your eyelid it appears to me that you have a condition known as "ptosis" which is a loss of muscle tone or tension that keeps the upper eyelid in the correct position and as you mention the eyelid "dropping" that may another indication that you do have this condition. My advise is to seek the services of a board certified occuplastic surgeon when you are ready for the next revision. An occuplastic surgeon is trained to correct conditions such as ptosis and can typically make an aesthetic correction as well.
I just got my stitches taken out after having asian eyelid surgery performed 3 days earlier. I noticed a small wrinkle form on my left eye above the incision area and am unsure if its from bad surgery or from the swelling. My doctor said that it is from the swelling, bruising and will go away, but my right eye doesn't have the small (noticeable) wrinkle. It on the inner area of my left eye a little bit above the incisioned area and I am just nervous that it may be permanent. Is this normal?
Swelling 3 days after such a procedure is quite common. Give it several weeks to settle in. If the crease is still there at that point, let your surgeon re-evaluate the area. Hope this helps. Best Regards

9 days after my asian blepharoplasty, I had my eyebrows tattooed. I only dared to do it cause my swelling and healing were going well. I'm worried now b/c my eyelid seems tightened today. Have I damaged anything or prolonging my healing? I am scared...pls help me!
I hope I can calm your fears and not raise any more concerns for you. First, there is most likely nothing the makeup artist or esthetician could have done to compromise your surgery when she tattooed your eyebrows. The eyebrows typically take longer to heal then the eyelid or lip when permanent makeup is applied. That area has tougher or thicker skin so the esthetician has to go deeper to place the color. You most likely have swelling that could extend down to the upper lid making it feel tighter. As you continue to heal this feeling should go away. You can always return to the surgeon who did your blepharoplasty and let them examine you so you can be reassured that everything is ok.
You did not indicate your age so the issue of your brows lowering as you age may or may not be of a concern. Not everyone's brows lower significantly as they age so a browlift may not be needed or desired later on, so placing the permanent makeup on the eyebrow now may not be a problem in the future for you. Don't become concerned about this until there is a reason to be.
