Tags: upper eyelids, pulled, scared

2 of my friends got double eyelid surgery (anchor fixation) few years ago and she said may not be worth it because every time she looks up there is a strong tugging "up", even after a year (incisional method)...I was planning on getting this, but this is my only fear! (None of them had any other complications) Can anyone alleviate my fears on this? What can I tell my surgeon to not have that happen? (with incisonal)
