Hi, about six months ago I got eyelid surgery for my hooded eyelids. I'm unhappy with where my crease is after surgery. I'm mainly bothered by where it sits in the inner corner. Ideally, I'd like the space between my eye and crease to be bigger and I wish that the crease wasn't so close to the eye itself. I drew a rough example of what I wish it looked like. Is this possible with a revision?
