Scar above natural crease, do I have enough skin to move it into crease area? (Photos)

Question

My eyelid scar is above my natural crease and moreso on the left eye where now there is a fold between crease and scar. Does it appear I have enough skin to move scar into crease area without causing too much skin removed?

Your scar is not obvious on the picture.
I had to look for it for a while before I saw it.
It may be possible to incorporate this car with an upper eyelid blepharoplasty if you’re interested in having that procedure.
Alternatively, you could leave things the way they are and avoid Surgery, which would trade one scar for another..
I suggest you rely on in person consultations exclusively.
Surgeons like to operate and that’s how we make our income.
As i mature into the later part of my career, I tend to operate less and usually feel there needs to be a good indication before doing surgical procedures.Best,
