Hi, I wanted a medium size and a parallel crease. Both of my eyelid creases are higher than what I wanted and its still puffy looking in the crease area. I am concerned because I don't want the puffy crease to be caused by fats in my eyelid. My doctor specifically said that I don't have that much fat on my eyelid. If this isn't the case, please tell me how long would it take for the puffy crease to go down. Also how long will it take for the stitches to completely disappear? Thanks
