I had double eyelid surgery, the doctor made my crease incision very low especially at the ends. Can this be fixed?

Question

I used to have tapered double eyelids that flared out at the end, but after double eyelid surgery a year ago, the doctor reversed my eyelid shape & made it very low at the end. Can this be reversed? 1. If the incision is cut very low and long past the eye, how can the crease become higher? Wouldn’t that make my eyelashes and waterline evert up? 2. My overall eyelid area below crease is so much smaller. Can this be reversed? 3. Why is left eye crease loose & right deep and tight?

I revise many Asian double fold surgeries. It is possible to raise the crease without rolling out the water line. Rotation of the water line is a function of an over aggressive anchor blepharoplasty. Although you have provided many photographs, it is simply no substitute for a detailed physical examination of the eyelids. Your eyes can be your best feature.
