Tags: incision, multiple, revision, risk

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.

Asian eye lid

Wait at least one year then open double lid surgery by an experienced doctor in this field. Explain exactly what type of lid crease you want. show pictures. Third surgery is very difficult to predict or guarantee results
