Is there any reason why a upper blepharoplasty scar would not intentionally be in the lid crease? (photos)

July 1, 2014
Asked By:Amber27 in Scotland, United Kingdom

2 weeks post upper blepharoplasty by experienced surgeon. I had on numerous occasions been assured that initially I would have a thin scar in natural lid crease and after a few months this will disappear and surgery would not be obvious to anyone. On this assurance i had the procedure done, however I'm left with an obvious scar to my right eye which is sticking out half way up the side of my eye and not in my natural lid crease and which cannot be hidden with Makeup.
