I Am a 41 Year Old Korean Female Who Had an Upper Eye Lid Lift in Sept 2010.  I did not want to emlarge or change the shape of my eyes. My doctor removed 3mm of skin and did not increase my eyelid fold. The problem I have is that before surgery and still I have a faint line above both eyes. It is more prominent over my right eye. I am know deciding if I have another surgery to correct this problem. I have tried Botox and thermage to see if it would help and neither worked.
