Possible to Get 3rd Asian Eyelid Surgery After 2 Non-incisional Surgeries?
I am a 29 years old asian.I had non-incisional(dst?)eyelid surgery when I was 17.I recently went for a 2nd partial-incisional surgery(because some fat needed to be taken out)through a different doctor and 7 months has passed.I'm not very satisfied with the results.I can see some scarring where the incision was made.Is it still healing? Would it be possible to get eyelid surgery for a 3rd time?Or it is too risky because there may be internal scarring and damage to do any more work on my eyes?

But, you have to be careful not to do too much surgery on the eyelids.

Sometimes people go to a particular surgeon because they are Asian or they advertise in an Asian Magazine.
