Question about follow-up visit after blepharoplasty in 2018 left me with horizontal pleat?

January 2, 2023
Asked By:Bell2014 in Annapolis, Maryland

I had blepharoplasty both eyes Nov 2018. I now have a horizontal pleat on my right eyelid. When stitches were removed surgeon said "we can fix that with a stitch" Left eye looks great. I gave it a year to heal. In Jan 2020 I decided to follow up and then COViD arrived. I will see the surgeon in January. Can you give expectations for this conversation? Should I be prepared to pay for this correction? I'm in good health, no weight change since surgery and stay out of the sun. Thx!
