Excess fold of skin left after Asian Double Eyelid surgery?

I am about 2.5 weeks post-op from Asian double Eyelid surgery. I have noticed that when I close my eyes, there is a small fold of excess skin at the crease/suture line.

Is this normal at this stage of healing or will I need a revision? Did the surgeon not remove enough skin? It looks weird when my eyes are closed. I do not want to get a Brow lift. Thx.

2 and 1/2 weeks is still too early to tell if enough skin was removed. There is likely still some swelling. Is there still a double fold when your eyes are open? Perhaps what you're seeing is just the incision which may look like excess skin until it flattens out.  I would wait at least 3 months before... more
