It's been a year since I've gotten the double eyelid surgery. My surgeon did a good job but my fold is quite small and not visible. I wanted to do a revision surgery but did not really want to have to have the same surgery done again. Are there any alternatives besides the traditional surgery to make my folds look bigger? Let's say like removing fat or getting an eye lift of some sort? I have no idea if those are even possible but I need some advice ! Thank you !

Creating a fold in the Asian eyelid, or double lid surgery can be revised. However the revision is difficult and require expertise. The shape length and height of the crease has to e discussed ahead of the surgery. There are two techniques to creat a fold 1: Open technic 2: closed suture technic, NOT AS RELIABLE So your only option is revision with the open technique
