Asymmetry of the upper eyelids

If the oriental appearance is because of the loss of the eyelid fold, then more surgery can attempt to reattach the skin to the tarsal plate to get better symmetry, if it is the shape, without photos to see, I cannot say what could be done.

More information

Honestly we need much more information to be able to help you. Pre and post op photos are important. Are you in fact Asian? How long out of surgery are you....Did you want "asian" eyelids? There are many normal variations to Asian eyelids, so important to know what your expectations are.

The sutures for the double crease formation on the left eyelid may have come undone or did not form the crease. May need to have revision on the left side if it is 6 months after surgery.

When an eye looses it oriental appearance, it is usually because too much of the upper eyelid fold is removed. Occasionally the upper eyelid platform is left too long and is associated with upper eyelid ptosis. The exact nature of the issues determine precisely what the best options are... more

A photograph and some history would be the only way to help give you some expert advise.
