Overall, I want my crease lowered, but also the skin on my eyelids overlap each other by a lot, which when I tilt my head back there's so much space. Is it possible to lower the crease and make it less overlapped. Maybe like make a new incision, take some skin, add some fat, take away fat? Also, how bad will the scarring be? I don't want like the "pulled back" look and fake looking. When I look down, will my scar be extremely fake and obvious? My scar right now is pretty faint.

Lowering the asian eyelid crease and droopy eyes

Morning, You eyelid crease can be lowered by raising the eyelid itself. Often times I can accomplish this without cutting the skin on the outside. What I would do is a repair of your droopy eyelids from the inside of your eyelid. Once this is done your crease will be lower, your eyelid edge will be up a bit, and your eyes will be bigger and brighter. Have you had surgery before? That can make some difference but not that much in your case. You would... more
