Double Eyelid Surgery Gone Wrong?

When I open my eyes, it's barely even visible, it only becomes defined when I lower down my eyebrows like I'm angry, it pushes the crease to get clearer. My problem is, when my eyes are opened normally, the line is there but barely even see it. Is it supposed to be pushed back more?

If your eyelid crease definition doesn't improve in time, it may be related to the technique or unrecognized ptosis that might have been present before the surgery. For now, I would suggest you to be patient and observe.
