Hello, I got double eyelid surgery (partial incision) along with medial epi. I regret the ep SO much! I feel like my eyes are TOO close together =( I think that the doctor cut more into the left inner corner than the right. Would you agree? There is less space from the inner corner of the left eye to the nose than the right eye. I also got rhinoplasty, bridge raised. It has been 14 days. Any suggestions? Is there a way to reverse? Do you think as swelling decreases, it will get better? Help
