After Asian Eyelid Surgery Will my Left Eye's New Crease Fold Better Due to Hollow? (photo)

I'm worried about the way the crease is folding in my left eye, it appears as if it's not creasing like it should. I understand over time the creases drop lower than initially, will this not happen to my left eye due to the hollow, and result in scarring?

Possibly. However, it would be more comforting if the crease and... more
