I had blepharoplasty in korea... first, the no-cut procedure, then a year later the laser procedure. I loved the shape of my eyelids after the no-cut, but after the laser my eyelids were much larger. I assumed after 6 mo to 1 yr the swelling would reduce, the eyelids would be smaller. Now it's been 2 yrs and the eyelids appear still swollen. My right eyelid also has a raised scar on the crease.
