Would an 8mm crease after incisional surgery look higher than an 8mm unoperated crease? (Photos)

Asked By:totoro84 in Abilene, TX

Before blepharoplasty, my eyelid space between the crease and lashes was 10mm if I slept with eyelid tape overnight and then took it off in the morning (the crease would stay the whole day). Without it, i would be 8mm. The surgeon claimed that getting an 8mm crease on my eyes would make the crease look higher than the 10mm i had before surgery. This cant be true right? From what Ive been observing from my recovery, a swollen 8mm crease looks like a 10mm crease and i heard it'll get 50% smaller
