Asymmetrical crease from revision Asian blepharoplasty. R eye parallel crease, L eye higher/tapered. R feels tighter (Photo)

Asked By:mitsuko in California, CA

Cannot lift R eyelid as well as L side. Crease on R eyelid isn't the sutured incision but another line right above it that accounts for 2nd crease right above sutured crease. Surgeon said it was skin caught during suturing. L eyelid just under sutured crease, there's a noticeable/ palpable bulging strip (also skin caught by sutures?) Any way to fix asymmetry/ possible ptosis on R eye if more skin and fat excised on R side? Just want something approaching evenness not looking for perfection.
