Double Eyelid Surgery - Fear of Tugging Sensation Post-op

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)

Tugging feeling after Asian Eyelid Surgery

I have not had that issue but it should be temporary. If the surgeon takes too large a bit of the levator muscle with the suture when attaching it to the skin that could happen. Ask your surgeon what he/she is suturing the underside of the skin to when closing the incision. Other than that you should be good to go. These following sensations are more common: 1. Feeling of fullness of upper lid even though swelling is gone. That's normal. ... more
