5 years post non-incisional double eyelid surgery and right eye sutures loosening--how to fix it? (Photo)

March 20, 2016
Asked By:Yuchang89 in Boston, MA

~5 years ago, I got non-incisional double eyelid surgery with epi. I was very happy with the results and have no complaints. A few weeks ago, I noticed that my creases were uneven. At first, it wasn't too bad, but now the right eye crease is visibly fading--it's shorter and not as deep/obvious as my left crease. What are my best options for getting symmetrical creases again? Re-suture the right eye only? Resuture both? Incisional method? Is "resuturing" one eye for symmetry a difficult surgery?
